Features: The author, with a highly rigorous academic approach, depicts the history and current state of American public schools over more than a century. Through detailed data, the book illustrates the changes in the external environment and internal conditions of public schools, particularly offering insightful perspectives on the school choice movement in the United States and its manifestations. The author argues that the essence of school choice is to introduce market competition among schools. Facing intense competition, public schools must maintain an open mindset, actively adapt to local political and economic environments, and collaborate with their communities to minimize the pressure and constraints brought by external conditions, thereby preserving the core objectives and operations of the schools. Only in this way can public schools achieve sustainable and positive development.
