And for years this question has played out ferociously in the debates about how we should educate our children. From the growth of vouchers and charter schools to the implementation of No Child Left Behind, policy makers have increasingly turned to market-based models to help improve our schools, believing that private institutions--because they are competitively driven--are better than public ones. With The Public School Advantage, Christopher A. and Sarah Theule Lubienski offer powerful evidence to undercut this belief, showing that public schools in fact out-perform private ones. 0aAcademic achievementzUnited States. 4aLogros académicos zEstados Unidos 0aPublic schoolszUnited States. 0aEscuelas públicas 0aPrivate schoolszUnited States. 4aEscuelas privadas  0aEducationzUnited States. 4aEducaciónzEstados Unidos1 aLubienski, Sarah Theule
