"It's All About Learning asserts that education in America is headed down one of two roads: traditional public education or privatization education. Wedded to free market theory, privatization education is the realization of adult-centric intentions. In contrast, traditional public education is the pursuit of student-centric intentions"-- Provided by publisher.
