Pondiscio is the author of many books, most recently How the Other Half Learns: Equality, Excellence and the Battle Over School Choice (Avery, 2019), which was praised as “unsparingly honest” by the New York Times Book Review and “a work of genius” by the Washington Post. He holds an MS in elementary education from Mercy College and a BA, English, State University of New York, Empire State College.
