Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continuation School in the United States First, it indicates that the schools in the upper grades fail to meet the enlarged needs and interests of the great majority of the young people to whom it may be reasonably expected that they should minister. Secondly, it indicates that the greatest proportionate withdrawal, being in the upper grades, is among the brighter children. To be specific: \vhen the last grammar grade is reached, only 40 per cent of the pupils entering school are left. AS stated, this 40 per cent represents the brighter element. An elimination of a third of these represents a greater loss to society than does the same numerical loss lower down in the grades. It is likewise true that the most of those eliminated in the higher grades are not so gifted as the verv few who stay still longer. Since the interests of the young are constantly widening as they ascend the grades, it is increasingly difficult for the school to meet their needs. The stronger the pupil the stronger will outside interests appeal to him and attract him away from the pursuit of studies in which he has comparatively little interest. Hence, during this time, among those who will be the first to leave school on any pretext will be many who would, with proper training, become in uential leaders in society. But for want of it they are too often subjected to the deadening in uence of the treadmill of the factory and the shop and lose all the ambition they once had for improvement.

This book was released on 1907 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "continuation school," while commonly used in England for some time has not been generally employed in this country and may need some further explanation. As use in this bulletin, it refers to any type of school which offers to people while they are at work opportunity for further education and training. It thus presupposes educational training of some kind and continues but does not necessarily repeat the work of the regular school. it is supplementary to the work of the regular school in the sense that is additional to it. This work was undertaken at the suggestion of Dean James E. Russell, of Teachers College, Columbia University, after a preliminary study of the German Fortbildungsschulen had been made. So little systematic work has been done in this direction in the United States that it seemed well worth while to make a study of the situation as it is here, and a comparison of the means employed in Germany, England, and the United States. So far the only important attempt to make such a study is that of the Massachusetts Commission on Industrial and Technical Education. This report is admirable, but can not take the place of a definite study of local conditions even in Massachusetts, and much less in other places. the following study an attempt has been made: (1) To show the need of continuation schools; (2) To describe the agencies employed in Germany and England to meet a similar situation; (3) To describe representative types of continuation school in the United States; and (4) To show the place of the continuation school in country's educational system and the general purpose of such a school in a democracy. Bibliography and index are included. (Contains 21 tables and 15 diagrams.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Schools for clerks of John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, and Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago. A. EVENING SCHOOLS. There is no other educational agency which to-day is reaching so large a part of the working people as the public evening schools. Their development, especially during the past quarter century, has been very rapid, and they seem destined to be, for some time to come, if not permanently, the great means of education for the working people. Thej' are reflecting more nearly the needs of the people than ever before and, in doing this, are coming to have characteristics so different from those of the day schools that they are attaining a distinct place in the educational system. Historical.--The early history of the evening schools in this country is so obscure, so little that is reliable has been written in regard to it, that some of the more prominent features of their early development will be given at this place. We may roughly divide the history of these schools into three periods: I. Private schools kept in the evening for pay. These were the same in character as the day schools and were merely a development of the tutorial system. This period extends from early colonial times to about the third decade of the nineteenth century. These schools are significant because (f) they reached a certain class of people--apprentices and others not otherwise provided forj (2) they accustomed the people to the idea of schools in the evening; and (3) they drew attention to the fact that many who were at work needed and desired further education. II. Free evening schools established by benevolent societies for the benefit of the poor. The limits of this period are indefinite. There are traces of it even in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From David Osborne, the author of Reinventing Government--a biting analysis of the failure of America's public schools and a comprehensive plan for revitalizing American education. In Reinventing America's Schools, David Osborne, one of the world's foremost experts on public sector reform, offers a comprehensive analysis of the charter school movements and presents a theory that will do for American schools what his New York Times bestseller Reinventing Government did for public governance in 1992. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the city got an unexpected opportunity to recreate their school system from scratch. The state's Recovery School District (RSD), created to turn around failing schools, gradually transformed all of its New Orleans schools into charter schools, and the results are shaking the very foundations of American education. Test scores, school performance scores, graduation and dropout rates, ACT scores, college-going rates, and independent studies all tell the same story: the city's RSD schools have tripled their effectiveness in eight years. Now other cities are following suit, with state governments reinventing failing schools in Newark, Camden, Memphis, Denver, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Oakland. In this book, Osborne uses compelling stories from cities like New Orleans and lays out the history and possible future of public education. Ultimately, he uses his extensive research to argue that in today's world, we should treat every public school like a charter school and grant them autonomy, accountability, diversity of school designs, and parental choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the tragedy and destruction that came with Hurricane Katrina in 2005, public schools in New Orleans became part of an almost unthinkable experiment—eliminating the traditional public education system and completely replacing it with charter schools and school choice. Fifteen years later, the results have been remarkable, and the complex lessons learned should alter the way we think about American education. New Orleans became the first US city ever to adopt a school system based on the principles of markets and economics. When the state took over all of the city’s public schools, it turned them over to non-profit charter school managers accountable under performance-based contracts. Students were no longer obligated to attend a specific school based upon their address, allowing families to act like consumers and choose schools in any neighborhood. The teacher union contract, tenure, and certification rules were eliminated, giving schools autonomy and control to hire and fire as they pleased. In Charter School City, Douglas N. Harris provides an inside look at how and why these reform decisions were made and offers many surprising findings from one of the most extensive and rigorous evaluations of a district school reform ever conducted. Through close examination of the results, Harris finds that this unprecedented experiment was a noteworthy success on almost every measurable student outcome. But, as Harris shows, New Orleans was uniquely situated for these reforms to work well and that this market-based reform still required some specific and active roles for government. Letting free markets rule on their own without government involvement will not generate the kinds of changes their advocates suggest. Combining the evidence from New Orleans with that from other cities, Harris draws out the broader lessons of this unprecedented reform effort. At a time when charter school debates are more based on ideology than data, this book is a powerful, evidence-based, and in-depth look at how we can rethink the roles for governments, markets, and nonprofit organizations in education to ensure that America’s schools fulfill their potential for all students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at America's most controversial charter schools, and the moral and political questions around public education and school choice. The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In How the Other Half Learns, teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz, who has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted. Her results are astonishing, her methods unorthodox. Decades of well-intended efforts to improve our schools and close the "achievement gap" have set equity and excellence at war with each other: If you are wealthy, with the means to pay private school tuition or move to an affluent community, you can get your child into an excellent school. But if you are poor and black or brown, you have to settle for "equity" and a lecture--about fairness. About the need to be patient. And about how school choice for you only damages public schools for everyone else. Thousands of parents have chosen Success Academy, and thousands more sit on waiting lists to get in. But Moskowitz herself admits Success Academy "is not for everyone," and this raises uncomfortable questions we'd rather not ask, let alone answer: What if the price of giving a first-rate education to children least likely to receive it means acknowledging that you can't do it for everyone? What if some problems are just too hard for schools alone to solve?
