Purposely limiting their analysis to problems that can be fixed from within the educational system, the authors attack (from an administrator's perspective) ten presumptions of American public education and offer some advice on how to fix them. National testing programs, teacher's unions, grouping and grading practices, large school sizes, obstructive school boards, and the single-salary pay schedules for teachers are among the problems they wish to see eradicated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) 'If everyone had a high school diploma there would be no more street people, unemployment, and crime.' Sound familiar? This and many other myths are the basis for the creation of the American education system. Dispelling all of the top 10 myths would catapult America's school performance far ahead of its nearest competition_for less money than we are currently spending! Sound impossible? Read this book.
