Schools That Do Too Much argues that American schools systematically misspend their two most precious resources: time and money. From class schedules that fragment students' time, to budgets that sink money in dozens of activities—especially sports—that distract from learning, schools over and over try to do too much and end up delivering too little by way of real teaching and learning. <BR><BR>"A thoroughgoing critique of how American schools operate. . . . The fundamental question about schools today, she writes, is not so much how to raise test scores but how to clarify, exactly, 'what we value most.'"—The New York Times<BR><BR>"Kralovec asks a simple question, but one with complex and profound implications. . . . Kralovec's succinct work should set the tone for conversations that administrators, school boards and politicians need to be having across the nation."—Publishers Weekly<BR><BR>"Without bashing administrators and teachers, Kralovec . . . demonstrates that schools end up doing too little of what matters."—Library Journal<BR><BR>"Well-reasoned arguments and . . . plenty of food for thought about the contemporary educational crisis."—Booklist
