Paperback. Condizione: Good. Why are America's public schools falling so short of the mark in educating the nation's children? Why are they organized in ineffective ways that fly in the face of common sense, to the point that it is virtually impossible to get even the worst teachers out of the classroom? This title answers such questions.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Technology can revolutionize schools ??? if we let it Imagine a cyber-school in an old steel mill where students from distant cities log in to learn. Or a Midwest charter school with state-of-the-art learning labs, where kids use laptops to manage their work. Here, learning happens across time zones, teachers are entrepreneurs, and innovation is commonplace. But for the majority of schools, this reality is blocked by politics-as-usual and untouchables such as teachers' unions. The authors challenge us to make much-needed changes--or be left in the dust of the global economy. Terry M. Moe (Stanford, CA) is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and professor of political science at Stanford University. John E. Chubb (Short Hills, NJ), formerly senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, is now Managing Director of ???The Edison Learning Institute. …

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Our government is failing us. From health care to immigration, from the tax code to climate change, our political institutions cannot deal effectively with the challenges of modern society. Why the dysfunction? Contemporary reformers single out the usual suspects, including polarization and the rise in campaign spending. But what if the roots go much deeper, to the nation's founding?In Relic , William G. Howell and Terry M. Moe point to the Constitution as the main culprit. The framers designed the Constitution some 225 years ago for a simple, agrarian society. But the government they created, with a parochial Congress at its centre, is ill-equipped to address the serious social problems that arise in a complex, postindustrial nation. We are prisoners of the past, burdened with an antiquated government that cannot make effective policy, and often cannot do anything at all.The solution is to update the Constitution for modern times. This can be accomplished, Howell and Moe argue, through reforms that push Congress and all its pathologies to the periphery of the lawmaking process, and bring presidents,whose concern for their legacy drives them to seek coherent policy solutions,to the centre of decision making. As Howell and Moe reveal, the key to effective government for modern America is a more powerful presidency. Relic is a provocative and essential book for our era of political dysfunction and popular despair. It sheds new light on what is wrong with our government and what can be done about it, challenging us to reconsider the very foundation of the American experiment. …
