About this product
Product Information
Much of what is mandated and touted as cures for school improvement are not research-based and in many instances, are doing more harm than any perceived good. This book examines all aspects of the present public school reform movement and explores how capitalism and the market system does not and cannot apply to public schools. Robert Brower contends that mandating a business model for education to force competition and change may destroy not only our system of education but also dismantle the intricate social, political, and economic successes we presently enjoy. In this book, the author gives research-based and practical advice on how to 'right the ship' of educational reform by making bold recommendations for where public education must go to ensure this country's continued leader in the free world.

Reviews
Brower's book is the BEST book on the educational market and should be required reading for all teachers, administrators, parents, business leaders, and legislators., Dr. Brower's book on school reform is the best book I have read about reform in public education. Our leaders who have influence over public school reform should have this book as mandatory reading., Finally, an enlightened investigation into the state of educational reform that every educator, parent, and politician should read., Whose Business is School Reform? is a powerful account that provides valuable insights that will benefit any district contemplating or undertaking major changes toward effective and enduring reform. The book is a must read for educational leaders who are interested in school improvement. The heavily sourced book is both practical and inspiring to all educators., Brower, a superintendent of schools in Indiana, argues that the present philosophies driving education are counterproductive and may actually lead to the dismantling of publication education in the United States. ... His recommendations are varied and include keeping schools small, maintaining discipline (through boot camps if necessary), and focusing on the needs of individual students., Great leaders ask great questions. Brower's book on school reform is an essential resource for initiating core questions about the vision and mission of public schooling.
