Textul de pe ultima copertă
Have publicly funded school choice programs--charter schools and voucher programs--been qualified successes or crashing failures? Studies of student achievement in charter and voucher schools find some dramatic successes and many mixed results; only sworn opponents of school choice would call it a failure. But how does this square with the rhetoric of supporters who predicted quick and dramatic success for school choice? In Learning as We Go: Why School Choice Is Worth the Wait, Paul T. Hill examines the real-world factors that can complicate, delay, and in some instances interfere with the positive cause-and effect relationships identified by the theories behind school choice. He explains why schools of choice have not yet achieved a broader appeal and suggests more realistic expectations about timing and a more complete understanding of what must be done to make choice work.
Hill identifies the key factors that account for the delay and explains how, even if politics, policy, and regulation were less hostile to choice, dealing with the other sources of the delay--dismantling a strongly defended system and building knowledge, capacity, and human resources--would take a significant amount of time. Choice supporters, he says, need to acknowledge that positive results will not just come automatically and that full development of what he calls the “virtuous cycle” stimulated by school choice will take time. Under current laws and at the current level of investment and effort, he concludes, it is not clear when, if ever, choice will reach its full potential.
