With never-before-published historical documents and first-person accounts by supporters and opponents, this book informs both the past and future of public education. It’s an eye-opening and stimulating inside take a look at policymaking. Zero Chance of Passage is the seminal reference at the history of this unique and inspiring redesign of public education.
