Description: Ordeal of Equality : Did Federal Regulation Fix the Schools?, Hardcover by Cohen, David K.; Moffitt, Susan L., ISBN 0674035461, ISBN-13 9780674035461, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Ever since the federal government started pumping money into . schools in 1965, there's been a debate over whether that money has accomplished anything and, if so, exactly what? In their examination of federal support for public schools, authors Cohen (Education and Public Policy, University of Michigan) and Moffitt (Political Science and Public Policy, Brown University) conclude that: (1) Educational reform has been hampered by incoherent local policies and administrations; (2) The schools and districts most in need of federal money and programs are the least capable of implementing reforms; and (3) Programs that attempt to reduce the effects of unequal schools have done little or nothing to address the causes of that inequality. Rigorously researched, this book should be on the shelf of anyone working in or concerned about public education. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
