Although I try to stay current on educational issues, I've only read one of the books on this list (Ravitch's "Death and Life"). I've had Mike Rose's "Why School" on my wishlist for awhile and would like to read several others, too. Some of these might make excellent final project/presentation opportunities for students in our School and Society course.
