"[D]efenders of schooling in its present from claim that its programs are arrived at scientifically and are applicable to everyone. I believe that the programs are not arrived at scientifically and are not applicable to everyone. The present work is an attempt to illustrate those points."--Page 3, Introduction.

'No Child Left' Behind, signed into law by President Bush in January 2002, is the most significant education legislation in decades. It calls for substantially expanded student testing, more stringent accountability requirements, and annual school-focused report cards at the state, district, and school levels. Despite the fact that it affects schooling at every possible level, few people understand its implications or reach. In America's 'Failing' Schools, Popham sets the record straight for teachers, students, and parents alike. In clear, accessible language the book explains the relevant.

This book looks at the progress of American education in the use of technology since the publication of Stallard and Cocker's last book, The Promise of Technology in Schools: The Next Twenty Years. Fifteen years after its publication, they find little significant difference in the way K-12 schools are using technology to improve student achievement. Education Technology and the Failure of American Schools offers a broad and penetrating look at the American educational system to determine why progress is so lacking. What is found is a system that has far outlived its functionality in terms of governance, organization, and professional practices. American schools are compared to those of nations whose students regularly outperform them on international tests of achievement. The authors offer a bold approach to educational reform that will irritate many who now consider themselves educational leaders. The final chapter makes offers a new approach to education in the primary grades, one that will surprise those lobbying for more computers for those early learning years. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about American education. The contributors of this book: Offer clear examples of what is missing in the average school experience Explain why teaching and school administration are not true professions Discuss levels of failure from the federal level to the local school administration Describe how the present system came into being Compare educational reform efforts with those in actual professions Explain the basic misapplication of technology in the present system

“An essential title for anyone thinking of law school or concerned with America's dysfunctional legal system.” —Library Journal On the surface, law schools today are thriving. Enrollments are on the rise and law professors are among the highest paid. Yet behind the flourishing facade, law schools are failing abjectly. Recent front-page stories have detailed widespread dubious practices, including false reporting of LSAT and GPA scores, misleading placement reports, and the fundamental failure to prepare graduates to enter the profession. Addressing all these problems and more is renowned legal scholar Brian Z. Tamanaha. Piece by piece, Tamanaha lays out the how and why of the crisis and the likely consequences if the current trend continues. The out-of-pocket cost of obtaining a law degree at many schools now approaches $200,000. The average law school graduate’s debt is around $100,000—the highest it has ever been—while the legal job market is the worst in decades. Growing concern with the crisis in legal education has led to high-profile coverage in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and many observers expect it soon will be the focus of congressional scrutiny. Bringing to the table his years of experience from within the legal academy, Tamanaha provides the perfect resource for assessing what’s wrong with law schools and figuring out how to fix them. “Failing Law Schools presents a comprehensive case for the negative side of the legal education debate and I am sure that many legal academics and every law school dean will be talking about it.” —Stanley Fish, Florida International University College of Law

What do we really want from schools? Only everything, in all its contradictions. Most of all, we want access and opportunity for all children—but all possible advantages for our own. So argues historian David Labaree in this provocative look at the way “this archetype of dysfunction works so well at what we want it to do even as it evades what we explicitly ask it to do.” Ever since the common school movement of the nineteenth century, mass schooling has been seen as an essential solution to great social problems. Yet as wave after wave of reform movements have shown, schools are extremely difficult to change. Labaree shows how the very organization of the locally controlled, administratively limited school system makes reform difficult. At the same time, he argues, the choices of educational consumers have always overwhelmed top-down efforts at school reform. Individual families seek to use schools for their own purposes—to pursue social opportunity, if they need it, and to preserve social advantage, if they have it. In principle, we want the best for all children. In practice, we want the best for our own. Provocative, unflinching, wry, Someone Has to Fail looks at the way that unintended consequences of consumer choices have created an extraordinarily resilient educational system, perpetually expanding, perpetually unequal, constantly being reformed, and never changing much.

As a former mathematics teacher and a master's degree recipient, I have witnessed a decline in basic mathematical abilities and financial literacy over the past twenty years. It is disheartening. To witness the anxieties people struggle with in their everyday lives--especially when due to reliance on credit--prompted me to do something. I decided to write a book to break down even complex financial concepts into understandable terms. Over the years, I have talked with business owners, bank mortgage lenders, sales professionals, finance managers, and college and high school students, along with coworkers, about the many financial topics individuals encounter throughout their lives. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised by the lack of understanding around basic financial concepts like budgeting, compensation and remuneration, insurance, credit, investments, and even taxation. Education has always been an integral part of my life. I believe in the total education of the individual, not just subject-matter expertise. An education that can last throughout a lifetime is complex yet simple, timeless yet timely, and most importantly, it builds a foundation that is needed for ultimate success. This book, Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do, builds the financial education that seems to be missing from society today. It details financial concepts necessary to guide the individual through a lifetime of experiences and endeavors. The financial topics include budgets, credit, insurance, investments, retirement, and worker compensation with fringe benefits and taxes, all tailored to an individual's personal financial life. As a former tax associate, I have assisted hundreds with their tax returns. In too many cases, individuals did not know how to fill out, complete, and/or file their required tax return. Some didn't even know what their W-2 was! I have become determined to increase their financial literacy as I did with the thousands of students I taught. Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do explains topics using real-world examples from employee compensation and lease versus purchase to loans, insurance, retirement, and the importance of investment to taxation. Employing this method breaks down any intimidation of mathematics (encountered by many of my former students and the general population) while teaching necessary financial concepts and calculations needed for everyday living--purchasing a car, buying insurance, setting up a budget, comparing total compensation from various job opportunities, retirement and investing, filing tax returns, comparing leasing, renting versus ownership, and more. A Walmart employee I recently spoke with told me he had to learn many of these concepts for himself after suffering financial hardship. He wished he would have been introduced to these concepts in school. When I informed him I had taught many of the topics contained in Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do to my students, he responded, "I wish I had you as a teacher." I want to help more people like the Walmart employee and others. I sincerely think they will not only benefit from the topics--they will find them interesting and the narrative informative. Thank you in advance for taking the time to look at Real World Finance: Boost Your Financial Literacy as All Schools Have Failed to Do!
