For-Profit Charter Schools: What the Public Needs to Know.
Dykgraaf, Christy Lancaster; Lewis, Shirley Kane
Educational Leadership, v56 n2 p51-53 Oct 1998

Corporations' superimposed bureaucracies have eradicated educators' freedom to practice site-based management and provide public-education choice. (MLH)
