Description
The weakening standards of public education have been at the forefront of political discussion in America for years. In this incisive new work, Peter Brimelow and Michael Antonucci argue that no educational reforms, however worthy, can ever work unless a solution is found to a central problem in... Expand the system: the teachers' unions. Equating modern teachers' unions with the monopolies and trusts that dominated headlines a century ago, The Worm in the Apple exposes a corrupt institution that has succeeded in controling and exploiting the school system. It shows why:
-- The NEA, as the largest teacher union, effectively operates as a political party
-- The U.S. spends more money per student than most industrialized nations, yet still gets lower results.
-- The classroom placement of children, and the school's curriculum and textbooks, will become bargaining chips in labor negotiations.Collapse
