Reclaiming Education: The End of Reform, the Rebirth of Excellence

In a time when education reform has become synonymous with endless testing, bureaucratic mandates, and a narrowing of the curriculum, it is more important than ever to question the status quo and demand a better way.

Labaree argues that the current system of educational reform is not only failing to improve student achievement, but is actually making things worse. He points to a number of factors that have contributed to the failure of reform, including:
