Unfortunately throwing money at the problem and instituting top-down change does not work. This long term study of Newark Public Schools over the last five or so years is an eye opening read. Required reading to fully understand what inner city poverty schools are up against and trying to change.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good Intentions Without Accountability: How a Hollowed Out Govt Fails EducationBy Kindle CustomerBrilliantly researched and insightful reportage on how foundations are being held responsible for fixing education rather than the government. Russakoff's knowledge of effective instruction is a bit superficial: she sees teachers who love their students as enough; which unfortunately is not true. It was fascinating to consider that Cami Anderson's vision of effective instruction might likewise be narrow; not about loving kids; but about certain rigid protocols. The frustrating part is that I do believe Anderson and Zuckerberg wanted to do well. I believe that there are lots of folks out there who want to help children but do bad things in the name of helping children. Because there is no government oversight or clear expectations; public education is the Wild West with the casualties being young low SES children. It is a disheartening time. Time to vote and support the candidates with the least ties to lobbyists and the most intellectual integrity.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Prize: Who’s in Charge of America’s Schools? a review by Marylloyd ClaytorBy Kindle CustomerThis book gives an inside look at the education reform movement yet from an outside perspective. It gives the reader the jargon vocabulary of the education reform movement heard all over the United States. The author adopts the premise that Chris Christie; Corey Booker; and Mark Zuckerberg all are well intentioned men but their good will goes wrong. The author gives a reality check for the wealthy wading into communities with no background knowledge of the community. It also is a reality check for politicians utilizing education as a platform for their political ambitions without an understanding of the community they utilize for their platform. The teacher's union; local and national; and how the union approaches their work with the wealthy/political educational reformers with Newark as the stage is presented by the author. The unfortunate reality is the children of Newark were not being served during educational reform movement or in the aftermath of the educational reform movement.We as readers should consider the concept of "where are they now?". With the background the book presents the reader can determine what other reformers are doing now and what does that mean for education in the future. The reader can decide if the premise of the author of reformers as well intentioned men is correct or should the public further investigate motives and success of the educational reform movement In Newark and across the nation and the resulting deeper political; economic; and sociological results.Marylloyd ClaytorRCG Research Consulting Group
