Synopsis
Leon Botstein argues that the pessimism and belief in cultural decline that has dominated American discourse about education and the future of our children is both wrong and harmful. In this book, he offers both a critique of such relentless negativity and an alternative that reaffirms the civilizing mission of education for all our citizens.

Industry Reviews
"...Botstein advocates abolishing high school altogether. At 16, students would be dispersed into different kinds of educational options....Though this book is not destined to be popular among high-school administrators, Botstein makes a strong, shrewd, sensible case for his radical proposals."
Epstein
"[Botstein's] most radical and most interesting pages are about 'Replacing the American High School'...The directions that Botstein discusses are worth discussion and debate."
Radner
