For many parents in many communities, the public schools are
failures. This book identifies and discusses the root causes of
this failure and offers specific remedies. The public schools are
extremely resistant to improvements because of the powerful
Education Establishment, composed of entrenched teacher unions and
school educrats and pandering politicians. The book discusses all
of the reasons that a monolithic and monopolistic school system
cannot meet the pluralistic needs of all children through a
one-size-fits-all model. The author explains why more money is not
the answer, how monopoly union bargaining has damaged the schools,
and how over-regulation has destroyed all hope of meaningful
improvements. The author exposes the myth that teachers are
overworked and underpaid, shows why it is almost impossible to fire
incompetent teachers, and provides reasons why merit pay is not the
answer. The author concludes that the only solution to the failing
government schools is through the introduction of school choice
without double taxation. This would put education back where it
belongs - in the hands of parents. The author cautions, however,
that any plan that keeps the government in charge of choices is
doomed to fail. The transition to choice will not be easy, because
it will be met with the full fury of The Education Establishment.
