    Synopsis

    How can we fix America's floundering public schools? Conventional wisdom says that schools and teachers need a lot more money, that poor and immigrant children can't do as well as most American kids, that high-stakes tests just produce teaching to the test, and that vouchers do little to help students while undermining our democracy. Jay P. Greene has gathered the evidence to show that much of what people believe about education policy is little more than a series of myths.
