Reviews for Democratic Constitution for Public Education
"Hill and Jochim offer an engaging, thought-provoking, original, and quite ambitious redesign of K-12 education governance that is rich in historical grounding and practical detail. It will surely generate a vigorous debate over education's biggest issues and the problems that beset our current system." (Julie Marsh, author of Democratic Dilemmas)"
