Abstract
- The article is a book review of "Public Education: Defending a Cornerstone of American Democracy" by David Berliner and Carl Hermanns. The book consists of 29 essays by education scholars on various topics related to public education in the US. The essays explore the relationship between public schooling and democracy, addressing questions about how to prepare young people for full and equal participation in public life. The book also discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools and highlights the inequalities and possibilities for positive change that have emerged. While the book offers diverse perspectives and critical hope for reform, the reviewer suggests that it may not fully capture the pluralism and debates surrounding education and public schooling in America.
