Contents:

Recasting public and private education in postindustrial America -- Are private and public schools organized differently? -- Student achievement and client orientation in public and private schools -- The organization of schooling in public and private schools -- How different are public schools from private?

Summary: [Authors conclude] that there's very little difference between public schools and their nearby private counterparts. Inner-city private schools, most of which are Catholic, suffer from the same problems neighboring public schools have, including large class sizes, unqualified teachers, outdated curricula, lack of parental involvement, and stressful family and community circumstances.--From publisher description.
