Description

"The book examines how stratification, formalism, and markets have undermined education as a public good. American education has long presented itself as a model of equal opportunity and open accessibility. But, as Labaree shows, the system balances accessibility with stratification, providing students with equal access to a sharply unequal array of educational experiences."--Jacket.
