Cato Institute,U.S. School Choice Myths: Setting the Record Straight
Book SynopsisAre there legitimate arguments to prevent families from choosing the education that works best for their children? Opponents of school choice have certainly offered many objections, but for decades they have mainly repeated myths either because they did not know any better or perhaps to protect the government schooling monopoly.In these pages, 14 of the top scholars in education policy debunk a dozen of the most pernicious myths, including school choice siphons money from public schools, choice harms children left behind in public schools, school choice has racist origins, and choice only helps the rich get richer. As the contributors demonstrate, even arguments against school choice that seem to make powerful intuitive sense fall apart under scrutiny. There are, frankly, no compelling arguments against funding students directly instead of public school systems.School Choice Myths shatters the mythology standing in the way of education freedom. It is a one-stop guide to everything from the latest research on the effects of school choice on civic engagement to Supreme Court precedent, and a must-have for any combatant in the school choice wars, or anyone who just wants the best education for their children.

PIE - Peter Lang Le Bureau international d'éducation, matrice de
Book SynopsisCet ouvrage retrace la sociogenèse de l'internationalisme éducatif durant le premier 20e siècle à partir de l'une de ses matrices, le Bureau international d'éducation (BIE). Créé à Genève par l'Institut Rousseau, en 1925, pour construire la paix par la science et l'éducation, ce Bureau se conçoit d'abord comme caisse de résonance des mouvements réformistes ; dès 1929, sous la direction de Jean Piaget, le BIE devient la première institution intergouvernementale en éducation puis lie ses destinées à celles de l'Unesco en 1952, dont il constitue un organe précurseur. L'ouvrage s'attache à montrer comment le BIE tente de rallier tous les États de la planète, pour construire une charte des aspirations mondiales de l'instruction publique. Il témoigne des causes promues et négociées, non sans résistances : droit des populations juvéniles même les plus vulnérables à une pédagogie adaptée et à une large culture ; justice scolaire, corolaire de la justice sociale ; éducation à la paix et à l'esprit critique ; amélioration des conditions de travail et de formation des enseignants. Tout en élargissant l'empan de ses partenaires et de son audience, le BIE bute sur de substantielles contradictions. Comment asseoir sa légitimité sans renforcer les rivalités avec les organisations investissant elles aussi l'enfance d'une puissance rédemptrice ? Comment appliquer à l'éducation les méthodes de la coopération internationale, alors que l'école demeure la chasse gardée des nations ? Comment courtiser simultanément des gouvernements qui incarnent la démocratie et des États-nations aux régimes autoritaires, sans déroger aux principes de neutralité et pacifisme ? Quel mode opératoire instituer pour préserver les Conférences du BIE des interférences politiques qui s'exacerbent en ces décennies de tous les excès ?Grâce aux riches archives dépouillées, cet ouvrage permet, pour la première fois, d'accéder aux coulisses des négociations menées au sein du BIE et met en lumière les défis auxquels se confrontent, aujourd'hui encore, nombre d'organisations internationales.

Information Age Publishing Recent Advancements in Education Finance and
Book SynopsisThe past decade has seen a steady flow of important and innovative papers documenting the short- and long-term effects of finance reforms and the heterogeneity of the effects of reforms, exemplified by papers like Jackson, Johnson, & Persico (2016), Lafortune, Rothstein, & Schanzenbach (2018), Hyman (2017), and Candelaria and Shores (2019). Those papers have reinvigorated research on the effects of finance reforms, while raising important questions about how to best design a finance system and generate necessary revenues.The papers mentioned above, along with other papers too numerous to mention, have taken advantage of better data and better methods to address long-standing questions and generate provocative new answers. Since the landscape has changed quickly, policy makers and prospective researchers require a summary of the current state of the research on the effects of school finance reforms. Answers are also needed to such questions as: How do financing systems need to be modified to accommodate greater use of online education? How should school finance systems be designed to provide equal access (or, at a minimum, adequate access) to students with special needs? Why is there significant heterogeneity in the results of different finance reforms? What have been the effects of recent state efforts to reduce the role of the property tax in financing K-12 education? How should finance systems be designed to more effectively close persistent achievement gaps? How, if at all, should states integrate the financing of preschool education with the financing of elementary and secondary education? To help prepare the next generation of researchers and policy makers in the realm of school finance, this volume includes papers that summarize the current state of research on the questions above, as well as other pressing questions in education finance and policy.The book aims to bridge a space between comprehensive textbooks and journal articles in the field of education finance and policy. There are two main target audiences. The book is meant to serve professionals like school district administrators and education policy practitioners that desire a contemporary update to their previous study of education finance and policy issues. These audiences often have limited access to peer reviewed journals and knowledge of pertinent government and related policy reports in the field. The book is also meant to serve students and faculty from programs in public administration, public policy, community development and applied economics, education administration, educational leadership and policy studies that are studying content related to education policy, the economics of education, state and local public finance, and taxation. Some upper-level undergraduate students may also benefit from this resource.

Information Age Publishing Vouch for This!: Defunding Private Interests,
Book SynopsisVouch for This! Defunding Private Interests, Defending Public Schools (A Call to Action) is an effort by doctoral students in Educational Leadership and their professor to understand and challenge the voucher and charter school movements in Ohio and beyond. Using a curriculum studies approach focusing on autobiographical analysis and a policy advocacy framework, students in a course on the topic shared a common reading list, storied their connections to the current movements in the field, and developed treatments of key aspects of current policy and practice in the areas of voucher and other privatizing efforts in education today as they are embodied in charter schools, homeschooling, and private school settings.Using the tools of currere and policy advocacy as a scholarly community, the authors tackle the multi-faceted challenges and dangers posed by the neoliberal, privatizing movements taking rapid shape across our public school system, as private schools, charters, and homeschooling continue to receive significantly more and more public taxpayer funds to operate and build. The authors share what they learned about the continued demise of public education at the hands of politicians and privateers in Ohio and beyond, and what they think citizens can do to resist. Together in teams, the authors engage topics related to education and public schooling as key aspects of democratic life; the actions taken by capital interests that seize on tragedy and perceived community weakness to privatize education and villainize public schools; the greed that creates fervor and interest in "choice"; and suggest ways to take action to stem the tide.The book's foreword is written by well-known education activist William L. Phillis, Executive Director of The Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding (Ohio E&A), whose coalition of public school districts in Ohio is challenging the constitutionality of the voucher movements with their public case, "Vouchers Hurt Ohio.
