Civic leaders around the globe now press educators to raise the performance of students and schools. Backed by a colorful array of odd bedfellows - from corporate interests to advocates for the poor - politicians seek to narrow the aims of learning, advance routine curricular packages, and tightly align standardized tests.

Lucidly organized and skillfully written, The Camphor Flame brings clarity to an immensely complicated subject. C. J.
