Unfortunately, many of those fads now caroming across our continent are outright frauds; some are fantasies, even fictions. Even more unfortunately, many are undermining our public schools, teachers, kids and communities, and pillaging our tax dollars in the process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book analyzes each major reform -- No Child Left Behind, Common Core State Standards, grading schools, evaluating teachers, failing students, vouchers, charters, online virtual charters -- and finds them seriously wanting. We conclude with reforms that work actually helping teachers, kids, parents and communities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Shapiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475803087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475803082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Arthur Shapiro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545704648959,"sku":"9781475803082","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4819dd9e-b7d3-4de0-ad8c-45cf739a1d51.jpg?v=1738183123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/education-under-siege-arthur-shapiro-9781475803082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
