| Abstract | In Presidents, Congress, and the Public Schools, longtime policy analyst Jack Jennings examines the evolution of federal education policy and outlines a bold and controversial vision for its future.

He concludes by setting forth an ambitious national agenda to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn. -- from back cover. |
