"In The New School, Glenn Harlan Reynolds explains how parents, students, and educators can -- and must -- reclaim and remake American education. Already, Reynolds explains, many Americans are abandoning traditional education for new models. Many are going to charter schools or private schools, but others are moving a step beyond and making the leap to online education -- more than 1.8 million K-12 students already. The New School does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution for education. Americans require a diverse system of innovative approaches, each ssuited to a family's needs and spending potential. But with the profusion of online education, school choice, and even a return to alternatives like apprenticeships and on-the-job training, Americans hold the power to lower costs and improve outcomes from the ground up."--Book jacket. |
