Schoolhouses, Courthouses, and Statehouses - Solving the Funding-Achievement Puzzle in America''s Public Schools

Zusatztext "This important new book by economist Eric Hanushek and attorney Alfred Lindseth is the most cogent and comprehensive analysis of America's school-finance challenges that I have ever seen." ---Chester Finn, Jr., Education Gadfly Informationen zum Autor Eric A. Hanushek is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and a leading figure in the study of the economics of education. Alfred A. Lindseth is a senior partner with the law firm of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan! and is a nationally recognized expert in school finance law. Zusammenfassung Spurred by court rulings requiring states to increase public-school funding, the US spends more per student on K-12 education than almost any other country. This work traces the history of reform efforts and concludes that the principal focus of both courts and legislatures on ever-increasing funding has done little to improve student achievement.
