Spinning Wheels: The Politics of Urban School Reform
ISBN: 9780815736356 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Almost everyone agrees that America's urban schools are a mess.

Superintendents have to do this quickly, both because their tenure is usually three years or less and because urban communities are anxious to see educational improvement. However, the nature of...

Perhaps the most commonly advanced argument for school choice is the notion that markets will force public schools to improve, particularly in those urban areas where improvement has proved so elusive. However, the question of how public schools respond to market conditions has received surprisingly little attention. Revolution at the Margins examines the impact of school vouchers and charter schooling on three urban school districts, explores the causes of the behavior observed, and...
