This volume explores the topics relating to for-profit education. It presents varied expert opinions that examine many of the different aspects that comprise these issues. By evaluating divergent viewpoints, readers will activate their higher-level critical thinking and reading skills. Across four chapters, readers will examine whether for-profit education meets the needs of children, whether it meets the need of college students, whether it is a viable business model, and what the future may hold for American for-profit education. Essayists include Frederick M. Hess, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Brian Darling, Constance Gustke, and The Economist.
