Losing America's Schools

Nancy Bailey’s Losing America’s Schools: The Fight to Reclaim Public Education reveals the shenanigans used by those who are busy turning public education into just another commodity. In a very well-researched and documented display of wisdom, Bailey offers a detailed look at school privatization from Reagan to current-day venture capitalists. I have learned a lot from Dr. Bailey. Her honesty shines on every page. This book is a must-read for parents, teachers, community leaders, politicians, and scholars. -- Doug Martin, author of “Hoosier School Heist: How Corporations and Theocrats Stole Democracy From Public Education”
Nancy Bailey's book is not just important for American schools, teachers, parents and children. The attack on publicly funded schools that she documents so clearly in her excellent book has also been taking place in parallel here in England. Her book deserves and needs to be widely read on both sides of the Atlantic. -- Roger Titcombe, retired headteacher, educational researcher and author of Learning Matters. https://rogertitcombelearningmatters.wordpress.com/
Bailey’s message, which reveals the ugly truth hidden behind the golden rhetoric of deep-pocketed “reformers,” has been ignored and/or suppressed by the mainstream media, but it is one that is vital for the American public to grasp. The philanthropist in the true sense, the one who loves human beings, is Nancy Bailey herself, for exposing the harm of the “reformers’” policies and for keeping the needs of all children for an engaging, enriching educational experience as her utmost concern. -- Sheila Resseger, retired ELA teacher at the RI School for the Deaf
