Description

Education has become a battlefield, the classroom the arena where the contest is fought.

The 1997 Ontario teachers' strike, the federal government's Millennium Scholarship, and a wave of protests across the country are among the signals that the war is heating up.

Alberta stands as a Canadian model of radical education reform, propelled by economic necessity.

But is all reform necessarily right or good?-and who decides?

A range of commentators-teachers, scholars, parents, and others-discuss the conflict in Alberta's schools.
