Paperback. Condition: Good. Education has the potential to open incredible doors of opportunity for students. Yet despite unprecedented levels of public school funding and numerous reforms, far too many young people in America's school system today never enjoy the opportunities afforded to students by a quality education. In Education and Opportunity, Michael McShane proposes a market-based approach to education--one that fosters innovation and encourages competition, through charter schools, education savings accounts, and school choice. However, liberalization of the system is not enough. As with any sector of the economy moving from public monopoly to market control, effective stabilizing measures and supporting institutions are also necessary if the system is to be successful. McShane lays out a comprehensive, compelling case for education reform that encourages a marketplace of education options. With new, innovative schooling options, Americans can ensure that their children will receive the high-quality education that is essential for their success.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The lion's share of writing about education improvement for the past two decades has focused on improving urban schools. Given the yawning gaps between the low-income and minority students that populate those schools and their suburban counterparts, this makes a great deal of sense. Unfortunately, this focus has neglected the tens of millions of students who attend schools in rural areas. Many of the issues that they face, from the impact of the opioid epidemic to deindustrialization to a lack of infrastructure, take on a unique character in rural schools. And many of the reforms that have proven so successful in urban areas do not translate so easily to rural contexts. This volume looks at both the macro-factors affecting rural schools (like deindustrialization and the opioid crisis) as well as the specific steps rural schools have taken and can take to improve.…
