Equal Scrutiny is a must-read for all twenty-first century educators. Revealing, sensible, balanced, and provocative, this book should lead to much-needed discussions about how digital education, which is mostly unregulated and unaccountable, is changing schooling in ways that have yet to increase learning opportunities for low-income students. Jill Koyama, assistant professor, educational leadership and policy, Graduate School of Education, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York Burch and Good skillfully demonstrate how technology and privatization have become intertwined in the current school reform movement. Few researchers offer us the quality of insights that Burch and Good give us in Equal Scrutiny. Christopher Lubienski, professor of education policy, organization, and leadership, College of Education, University of Illinois By connecting digital education to the social and economic forces that are powerfully affecting education and the realities of teachers lives, Patricia Burch and Annalee Good provide us with a nuanced, unromantic, and data-rich analysis of the limits and possibilities of digital education. Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison This lucid challenge of the marketing hype promoting privatizing initiatives in digital education directs needed attention to the paucity of evidence behind claims and lays needed groundwork for future empirical studies. Henry M. Levin, William H Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
