"Terry M. Moe and John E. Chubb tell a dramatic story about the pitched battle to bring about real change and improvement to America's schools - a battle that pits the innovative forces of technology against the entrenched interests that powerfully protect the educational status quo." "Controversial and compelling, Liberating Learning maps out a dynamic vision of the nation's educational future, showing how the ideas and innovations of technology will ultimately transform the public schools to the great benefit of the nation and its children - and how learning will be liberated from the special interests, and from the dead hand of the past."--BOOK JACKET.
