Synopsis
Keeping the Promise? examines one of the most complex reforms in education: charter schools. This wide-ranging and thought-provoking collection of essays examines the charter school movement s founding visions, on-the-ground realities, and untapped potential within the context of an unswerving commitment to democratic, equitable public schools. Essays include policy overviews from nationally known educators such as Ted Sizer and Linda Darling-Hammond, interviews with leaders of community-based charter schools, and analyses of how charters have developed in cities such as New Orleans and Washington, D.C.

Review
"This book is just what I have been needing to help answer the question, 'Are you for or against charters?' These essays are a remarkable response, from a range of trusted perspectives. This is an essential book for anyone concerned with democratic schooling." -- Deborah Meier "Senior scholar at New York University, founder of the Mission Hill School in Boston, and co-editor of Many Children Left Behind."
"Keeping the Promise? is a must read for policy makers who may be seduced by the rhetoric of for-profit charter school operators. As lawmakers, we were told that these charter schools would rescue central city children. Instead, these scams diverted scarce public dollars while leaving almost all urban children behind." -- CJ Prentiss "Member of the Ohio General Assembly from 1990-2006 and former chair of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus"
"Keeping the Promise? raises the main pedagogical and social issues in the development of the charter school movement. Provocative and contentious, it is invaluable for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of the charter school movement." -- Herb Kohl "Nationally renowned author and educator."
