OK, are there one or two classic books on the history of the US system of public schooling that I could look at? I know there's Katznelson's book from the 80s, and Neem Democracy's Schools more recently -- but this is from googling, not real research. @histodons

@ebrandom @histodons Hello! There are a couple I would recommend starting with Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars - it's a newer book but offers a really comprehensive overview.

@ebrandom @histodons If there's one "must read", it's probably Tyack's The One Best System. There are also some great texts that look at particular topics if there's something in particular you're looking for!

Jonathan Kozol has a couple of great books on schools in the US. They’re heartbreaking & infuriating.
