This text provides an explanation of what makes schools succeed or fail. It shows how an outside observer or a concerned parent can swiftly size up the performance of the school and lay the blame for any shortcomings squarely where it belongs.
In this book, a with nearly 40 years'' experience in education gives a crisp, clear explanation of what makes schools succeed or fail. He shows how a parent, administrator, or concerned observer can easily measure the school''s performance, and act to improve the school. The author also explains the various ploys by which inept school administrations deflect criticism and demands for reform, quieting parents without addressing their concerns.
