Critical Issues in Education

Comprehensive coverage is offered in this work of 17 of the most hotly debated issues in education today. Each chapter presents two alternative positions on a particular issue, and end-of-chapter discussion questions aid in the critical thinking process. Each of the book's four major parts begins with a chapter-length introduction providing background information and introduces a theme tying the issues together. This second edition features new chapters on affirmative action and multicultural studies.
