Illustrating the successes, failures, and ultimate demise of the largest for-profit manager of public schools, Saltman argues that the failures of The Edison Schools offer valuable lessons for the remaining educational management organizations.
First Sentence
H. Christopher Whittle, a native of Tennessee and the son of a doctor, built a media empire that began in the early 1970s with a series of condensed textbooks at the University of Tennessee. While enrolled at the public university, Whittle and a friend paid graduate students to hone course textbooks down to essential information for the exam.
