This book traces the decline of the public comprehensive high school. New educational markets emphasized school diversity and parental choice rather than social equity through common schooling, and they were criticized for declining standards. The book also considers government education policies and their regional manifestations.
This study analyzes the comprehensive public high school as both a policy ideal and a social institution by highlighting the development of high school in Australia, the UK, and the US. It focuses on such issues as: changing policy approaches to public high school, the "middle class flight" to private schools, how school systems in Australia mirror international policy changes, and the tensions between local and regional decision-making groups interested in reforming secondary high school policy.
