Schooling Alone is a look at the history of public education and the
current state of the efforts to privatize our public schools. This work
looks at who is really choosing and what we, as members of a democratic
republic, are losing as privatization of our publicly funded
institutions moves forward. There is a difference between a capitalist
economic theory and the values of a democratic republic. This work asks
the reader to consider what our values regarding public education should
be.
