"During the 1980s, widespread dissatisfaction with America's
schools gave rise to a powerful movement for educational change,
and the nation's political institutions responded with aggressive
reforms. Chubb and Moe argue that these reforms are destined to
fail because they do not get to the root of the problem. The
fundamental causes of poor academic performance, they claim, are
not to be found in the schools, but rather in the institutions of
direct democratic control by which the schools have traditionally
been governed. Reformers fail to solve the problem-when the
institutions ARE the problem. The authors recommend a new system of
public education, built around parent-student choice and school
competition, that would promote school autonomy-thus providing a
firm foundation for genuine school improvement and superior student
achievement. "
