First sentence: Twenty years ago, the National Commission on Excellence in Education (Excellence Commission) delivered a thunderbolt in the form of a report called A Nation at Risk.
Description: "When A nation at risk was published 20 years ago, it was seen as something of the Peyton Place of education reports: it stunned the establishment, readers threw up their hands and proclaimed themselves shocked by it, but no one could tear themselves away from reading it. Now, on the 20th anniversary of the original report, the Koret Task Force tells a no less compelling story."--Back cover.
