Description

The Edison Schools

The story of the Edison Schools is a gripping tale of money kids and greed. What began in the 1980s as an enterprise to transform public schools quickly became a troubled business battling falling test scores and dismal stock prices. How did the most ambitious for-profit education company in U. S. history lose respect money and credibility in such a short time? Revealing how American McEducation went from glory to crisis TheEdison Schools tracks entrepreneur Christopher Whittle's plan to introduce a standardized nationwide curriculum and cut administrative waste. Education specialist Kenneth J. Saltman finds that the critics' predictions came true in Edison schools across the country: Experienced teachers left in droves students were virtually given answers to standardized tests to drive up scores and difficult students were counselored out. .
