Schools That Do Too Much

Wasting Time and Money in Schools and What We Can All Do about It
  • By Etta Kralovec
$10.99
($15.00)
Product Description
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&#39; time, to budgets that sink money in dozens of activities&mdash;especially sports&mdash;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>&quot;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, &#39;what we value most.&#39;&quot;&mdash;The New York Times<BR><BR>&quot;Kralovec asks a simple question, but one with complex and profound implications. . . . Kralovec&#39;s succinct work should set the tone for conversations that administrators, school boards and politicians need to be having across the nation.&quot;&mdash;Publishers Weekly<BR><BR>&quot;Without bashing administrators and teachers, Kralovec . . . demonstrates that schools end up doing too little of what matters.&quot;&mdash;Library Journal<BR><BR>&quot;Well-reasoned arguments and . . . plenty of food for thought about the contemporary educational crisis.&quot;&mdash;Booklist
