The basic purpose of this book is to help policy makers at all
levels of government understand that (1) widespread adolescent
underachievement is not susceptible to solution by educational
interventions no matter how much money is allocated to public
education; and (2) there are unidentified educational and civic
costs to focusing on low achievement and to expecting public
institutions of education (for K-12 and college) to solve a growing
social problem. Many policy makers seem to think that
teachers/schools are the primary cause of low achievement.
Educational institutions still cannot solve a non-education-caused
problem and haven't done so for over fifty years despite all the
public and private money that has been allocated. The book
concludes with suggested policies for addressing the damage to
public education from "gap-closing" standards and with suggested
areas for policy making in order to change the current course of
failure for many low-achieving students.
