Book Synopsis
A little-discussed aspect of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a mandate that requires failing schools to hire after-school tutoring companies and to pay them with federal funds. This title takes a hard look at the implications of this blurring of the boundaries between government, schools, and commerce in New York City.

Trade Review
"This is a rare and powerful take on the role and work of supplementary educational services. In investigating these services, Koyama has staked out a whole new domain for closer inquiry, successfully convincing us that these services deserve scrutiny and often perpetuate failure. Making Failure Pay should be shared and should inform future research and policy making." - Edmund T. Hamann, University of Nebraska-Lincoln"
