From a seasoned veteran of public education, Stop the School Bus exposes the unwarranted and misguided school reform initiatives that are negatively impacting students and educators across the country. Gerald Tirozzi covers all the hottest school reform trendsincluding charter schools, teacher merit pay, Race to the Top, common core standards, and more. While some reform efforts are bringing about positive change, many make egregious promises, lack a research base, fail to address the needs of students and educators, and utilize a smoke and mirror depiction of success. The chapters in the book will each represent a bus stop bringing into clear focus a particular misguided reform effort, explaining its negative effect on school reform, the wasted political capital involved, and the often debilitating impact on students and staff. Tirozzi will also provide specific recommendations as to how the reform initiative presented in the chapter can be improved uponwhich, in turn, can help re-route the bus to more meaningful school reform.
