{"product_id":"no-adult-left-behind-9781009606318","title":"No Adult Left Behind","description":"For decades, Americans have debated why our students consistently score lower than their peers in other developed countries. While most debates have focused on school spending, curriculum, teacher quality, and teachers' unions, No Adult Left Behind argues that local democratic control is the root of the problem. Elected school boards govern local school districts, but only adults vote in local elections - most of whom don't have children or care about academics. This leads to educational debates that are centered around issues that adults care most about, such as partisanship, identity politics, property values, and employment concerns, while the needs of students get left behind. In identifying the misalignment between the interests of school children and the political and policy agendas of the adults who control education, No Adult Left Behind stands to become a landmark study on modern education politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladimir Kogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Studies in the Comparative Politics of Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009606318","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45156156145801,"sku":"9781009606318","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_6fbc0366-e94e-4c9f-b683-fa5f624ab6f3.jpg?v=1768295361","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/no-adult-left-behind-9781009606318","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
