Charter and Magnet Schools : The Future of Education

This is one of five books in the Educational Series from Mallon Publishing. We hear a lot about education but most people are not in tune to the many changes that have occurred in education over the years. Agreed, many of those changes are simply giving a new buzz-word to a successful educational element. However, given many challenges facing the urban public schools, Charter and Magnet Schools have become the buzzword of the late '90's and the 21st century to date. Although not necessarily a new idea in public education, Charter and Magnet schools have had a facelift and present new challenges. This book will explore the areas of Charter and Magnet Schools relative to what are they, do they work, do students learn more and other compelling questions. Most importantly, is this the future of public education?Luongo, Gerald J. is the author of 'Charter and Magnet Schools : The Future of Education', published 2004 under ISBN 9780976341802 and ISBN 0976341808.
