Edutopia: A Manifesto for the Reform of Public Education

by Winston Apple

For some time now, we have been inundated with a steady stream of books and articles detailing the problems plaguing public education. "Edutopia" goes beyond the criticisms to offer a comprehensive list of proposed reforms addressing the problems. The general thrust of these proposals is to de-regulate education, removing elements of compulsion, and giving students and parents the freedom to make meaningful choices with regard to the nature of their educational experiences.

The reforms proposed in "Edutopia" go well beyond quick fixes and fresh coats of paint, to offer parents and students meaningful alternatives to the present system of public education in America.
