As we consider the current status of educational reform, it is clear that the United States lacks a clear vision as to how to improve our schools. In the recent past, we have been able to gain support for ideas such as the need for special education programs, free and reduced lunches, pre-school programs, and equal educational opportunities for both boys and girls. While programs such as these were possible because of a national consensus, our challenge today is to agree on the way to move forward. Although it is most obvious in our inability to act on No Child Left Behind, the failure to define a common vision is true of many other issues in the field of education. Without an agreed-upon vision which includes the support of those working in our schools, true reform will be extremely difficult. The purpose of this book is to help the reader understand our differences and to suggest a way that we can reach a consensus on education reform.
Industry Reviews
This “spot on” work by Professor Hayes offers a thorough analysis of the views on educational reform of the politicians on both sides of the aisle. The book will help readers to better understand the complexity of issues facing our schools and colleges as they attempt reform. Equally important, it offers a plan for moving forward to improve our current programs. Anyone concerned with the future of education should consider this a “must read.”
