| The author, a journalist with 25 years experience as an education reporter, presents his assessment of schools in the United States. Working from the contention that most schools in the United States are merely good enough (that is schools that everyone wants to believe are okay--even, though, deep down, they know better ), the author advises parents and others on how to make a good enough school better. Topics addressed include standardized testing, teacher burnout, charter schools, and administrative bureaucracy. Also included are checklists to help adults evaluate schools by asking such questions as How serious is the school about art and music programs? and Are papers marked up with thoughtful comments? |
