All over the United States, we keep spending more on public schools and getting the same results. That’s not a money problem; it’s a design problem.
Fix three things: make fairness about learning, not dollars; stop paying schools up-front for promises and start paying after-the-fact for results; narrow schools to what’s mandatory and handle everything else somewhere else.
Using New Hampshire as a backdrop, the three Rethinking books in this set go into bare minimum detail about how to fix those three things.
The other two books played a large role in the formation of the ideas.
The Croydon Budget Battle is a memoir of what actually happened after the Croydon School District voted replaced a $1.7 million ransom with an $800 thousand budget.
The Libertarian Case for Public Schools starts out tongue-in-cheek, but then frames why even classical liberals might support limited and effective public education, and suggests how this could be done.
These books are required reading for anyone interested in true education reform.
