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
