Publicization: How Public and Private Interests Can Reinvent Education for the Common Good.

"Publicization: How Public and Private Interests Can Reinvent Education for the Common Good" by Jonathan Gyurko explores the concept of privatization in education and provides a definition for what it means for a school to be public. Gyurko argues that public education should prioritize the common good over individual interests and advocates for removing barriers to access and implementing policies that promote democracy, social cohesion, and environmental stewardship. The book includes case studies on teacher unions and charter schools to highlight the potential and challenges of creating a truly public education system. Gyurko approaches the topic with respect and positive assumptions, fostering genuine dialogue about the importance of public schools and how to achieve them. [Extracted from the article]
