Description: 318 pages. Book is in Very good condition throughout. During The 1980s, Widespread Dissatisfaction With America's Schools Gave Rise To A Powerful Movement For Educational Change, And The Nation's Political Institutions Responded With Aggressive Reforms. Chubb And Moe Argue That These Reforms Are Destined To Fall Because They Do Not Get To The Root Of The Problem. The Fundamental Causes Of Poor Academic Performance, They Claim, Are Not To Be Found In The Schools, But Rather In The Institutions Of Direct Democratic Control By Which The Schools Have Traditionally Been Governed. Reformers Fail By Automatically Relying On These Institutions To Solve The Problem-when The Institutions Are The Problem.
