Grassroots democracy: putting the public back into public education

摘要:

Decisions regarding a child's education are best placed as close to the school, home, and community as possible; however, today's schools tend to be governed by school boards that are far removed from their communities. Cunningham calls for a fundamental change in the educational governance system, one that restores the traditions of grassroots democracy and local control.
