At this moment, schools are doing everything they can to win the Race to
the Top. They are allocating their funding to test preparation, riffing
beloved teachers, and transferring students who "drag down" their grade
average on the state report card. This book describes the current state
of the education system in the United States. Readers will be on the
front lines of the protests in Madison, in the inner city
public-turned-charter schools, and in the shoes of the teachers dealing
with educational politics every day. By the end of this text, you may
beg the question: who's winning in the Race to the Top?
