Reviews

Brouillette delivers no less than what she promised: to help the reader better understand the challenges facing those who create new educational settings, and to better understand the perceptions and concerns that motivate charter school initiators, teachers, and parents...The book is readable, clear, easily understood from both a lay perspective as well as a academician's-it was a joy to read. -Anthropology and Education Quarterly It is well written and balanced in its discussion of an issue that has accumulated much emotional baggage in the past decade. -American Journal of Psychology It is well written and balanced in its discussion of an issue that has accumulated much emotional baggage in the past decade... offers an impressive number of insights about the challenges that charter schools face and the shortcomings and potential of the charter school movement as a component of school reform. -American Journal of Psychology The contributors to this book not only provide valuable documentation of the process of starting a charter school, but also offer an insightful and coherent analysis of challenges that founders of charter schools face. This book should be realistic, valuable resource to anyone seeking to create effective educational reform through charter schools. -The Harvard Educational Review
