Abstract | Reimaging American public education -- America's dismal school system -- Eliminating the middleman -- Decentralizing education -- HIring and retaining great teachers- and paying them (much) more -- Toward an unshackled system -- The technology revolution in learning -- Allocating resources effectively, enabling innovative models -- The legal terrain -- A model for building the future. Bolick and Hardiman begin with a thought experiment: how would we structure a 21st-century K-12 school system if we were starting from scratch, attending to contemporary parental needs and harnessing the power of technology? Maintaining that the status quo is unacceptable, they take a forward-thinking look at how choice, competition, deregulation, and decentralization can create disruptive innovation and reform education for all students. The US Supreme Court proclaimed 65 years ago in Brown v. Board of Education that our schools must provide equal educational opportunities, but as Bolick and Hardiman argue we have yet to make good on that promise. School systems are bound to antiquated structures, outdated technology, and bureaucratic systems that work for adults, not children. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how ossified the traditional public school system has become. Today's ruptures in traditional learning create opportunity for reinvention. Bolick and Hardiman explain that technology can redefine the ways students learn in and out of the classroom and highlights the benefits of expanding educational freedom so that families are able to choose an education that fits their child's needs. --From publisher description. |
