Nota de la solapa
"Common Sense School Reform delivers exactly what it promises: a no-holds-barred, sensible approach to school reform, stripped bare of the utopian rhetoric and pie-in-the-sky promises that so many school reformers prefer. School leaders should read this book!"--Diane Ravitch, author of The Language Police and Research Professor, New York University
"This is a refreshingly direct and stimulating look at competing visions of educational reform and a passionate argument for radical change. Informed by Hess' experience as a teacher, teacher educator, and scholar, this book will help crystallize key disputes while it unapologetically calls some questionable assumptions out into the open for debate."--Andrew J. Rotherham, Director, 21st Century Schools Project, Progressive Policy Institute
"In this book, Rick Hess performs a valuable public service. His analysis of school reform is both thoughtful and provocative. His ideas on how to improve schools are welcome relief from the romantics and ideologues who dominate the national education debate."--Tom Loveless, Senior Fellow and Director, Brown Center on Education Policy, Brookings Institution
"Rick Hess has brought a rare intellectual gift to the subject of school reform: plain common sense. He knows American education, he knows how effective organizations work, and that knowledge has shaped a radical vision of the fundamental structural change that real school improvement demands. Common Sense School Reform is a gem. It should become a handbook for all who are seriously committed to educating America's children."--Abigail Thernstrom, co-author, No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning
"With an insider's knowledge, and an outsider's vantage point, Hess questions old assumptions and prods the conventional wisdom on school reform. His arguments for radical change may leave some feeling uncomfortable, but you needn't agree with all of his characterizations to find his provocative observations an important contribution to the dialogue on public school improvement."--Kim Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of NewSchools Venture Fund
"Common Sense School Reform prescribes with unblinking realism what must happen for public education to give children the education they need instead of adults the employment they want. Hess details deftly how our public schools can succeed by embracing accountability, incentives, flexibility and competition. This is a book no one concerned with American education should miss. Absent common sense reforms, public education as we know it today is bound to disappear."--Alan D. Bersin, Superintendent of Public Education, San Diego City Schools
"Few will agree with everything that Frederick Hess asserts in this book. Many, like I, will think he is too hard on what he calls 'status quo reformers.' Nonetheless, the burden of proof is now shifted to those who would disagree with his main point: that widespread improvement in U.S. schools will remain a pipedream without painful adjustments. An important contribution that will challenge school reformers."--Ronald F. Ferguson, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
