Summary
Winner of the 2021 Hayek Book Prize
A leading conservative intellectual defends charter schools against the teachers' unions, politicians, and liberal educators who threaten to dismantle their success.
The black-white educational achievement gap - so much discussed for so many years - has already been closed by Black students attending New York City's charter schools. This might be expected to be welcome news. But it has been very unwelcome news in traditional public schools whose students are transferring to charter schools. A backlash against charter schools has been led by teachers unions, politicians and others - not only in New York, but across the country. If those attacks succeed, the biggest losers will be minority youngsters for whom a quality education is their biggest chance for a better life.

Thomas Sowell its just an amazing human being
Sowell it's the best teacher I've ever have. He is both a good scientist and a good science communicator (teacher). He changed my life. His book basic economics change the way I see the world.
This book it REALLY IMPORTANT. I myself live in Bulgaria. Here the education its really bad, and we don't have charter school. But this book mafe me thi k about to research the politics of it and hoe they can be created legaly here to. The decentralised form of teaching its really effective. In my case i have learn si much from audiobooks, that I never learn in the centrally controlled government schools.
If you are a parent read ir listen this book.
And fir gid sake defund the f. teachers unions they're a cancer. Ot make a parents unin, ir students union. Teachers unions are just acting evil even with good intentions.
