Preface xi
I. Myths, Hoaxes, and Outright Lies 1
II. Myths and Lies About Who’s Best:
Charters, Privates, Maybe Finland? 10
1. International tests show that the United States
has a second-rate education system. 12
2. Private schools are better than public schools. 18
3. Charter schools are better than traditional public schools. 22
4. Charter schools are private schools. 27
5. Cyberschools are an efficient, cost-saving, and highly effective
means of delivering education. 31
6. Home schooled children are better educated than those
who attend regular public schools. 36
7. School choice and competition work to improve all schools.
Vouchers, tuition tax credits, and charter schools inject
competition into the education system and raise all boats. 41
8. Want to find the best high schools in America?
Ask Newsweek or U.S. News. 46
Ml. Myths and Lies About Teachers and the Teaching Profession:
Teachers Are “Everything,” That’s Why We Blame Them
and Their Unions 49
9. Teachers are the most important influence
in a child s education. * 50
10. Teachers in the United States are well-paid. 54
11. Merit pay is a^good way to increase the performance of teachers.
Teachers should be evaluated on the basis of the performance
of their students. Rewarding and punishing schools for the
performance of their students will improve our
nation’s schools. 58
vii
viii
Contents
12. Teachers in schools that serve the poor are not very talented. 64
13. Teach For America teachers are well trained, highly qualified,
and get amazing results. 67.
14. Subject matter knowledge is the most important asset
a teacher can possess. 74
15. Teachers unions are responsible for much poor school performance.
incompetent teachers cannot be fired if they have tenure. 78
16. Judging teacher education programs by means of the scores that their
teachers’ students get on state tests is a good way to judge
the quality of the teacher education program. 82
IV. Myths and Lies About How to Make Our Nation s Schools Better 87
17. Class size does not matter; reducing class sizes
will not result in more learning. 89
18. Retaining children in grade—’’flunking them—helps struggling
students catch up and promotes better classroom
instruction for all. 93
19. Tracking, or separating slow and fast learners, is an efficient
and productive way to organize teaching. Gifted classes and
special schools for our most talented students benefit
both individuals and society. 99
20. Immersion programs (“sink or swim ) for English language learners
are better than bilingual education programs. 103
21. Preserving heritage language among English language learners
is bad for them. 106
22. Abstinence-only educational programs work to reduce sexual contact
and unwanted pregnancies among school children. 110
23. Homework boosts achievement. 113
24. Group projects waste children s time
and punish the most talented. 118
25. School uniforms improve achievement and attendance. 121
26. Longer school days and weeks have
big payoffs for achievement. 125
27. If a program works well in one school or district, it should be
imported and expected to work well elsewhere. 129
28. Zero-tolerance policies are making schools safer. 132
29. The benefits of preschool and kindergarten programs are not
convincing and thus not worth the investment. 138
Contents ix
30. Character education will save America’s youth and strengthen
the nation’s moral fiber 146
31. Bullying is inevitable; it’s just kids. It’s a rite of passage.
The national effort to eliminate bullying is effectively
addressing the problem in our schools. 150
32. American K-12 education is being dumbed down. 152
33. Mayoral control of public schools has paid off in terms
of student achievement. 157
34. Forced integration has failed. 164
V. Myths and Lies About How Our Nation’s Schools Are Paid For:
All Schools Are Equal, but Some Are More Equal Than Others 170
35. Money doesn’t matter! We’re spending more money than ever,
but test scores are stagnant. 171
36. The money available to school districts is spread equally
across their schools. 175
37. In America, public money is not used to support
religious schools. 179
38. Education benefits children individually, not the public in general;
so supporting education for all past a minimal level—
8th grade or 12th grade, say—is hardly justifiable. 183
39. Tuition tax credits for families that choose private schools are
appropriate, since they are spending their own money
to educate their children. 188
40. Tuition tax credits and education savings accounts are helping
many poor children escape failing public schools
and enroll in excellent private schools. 190
41. Portfolio management models of schooling
will increase district performance. 193
VI. Myths and Lies About Making All Students
Career and College Ready 199
42. All kids can learn.
Schools can teach all students to the point of mastery. 201
43. Our nation s economy is suffering because our education system
is not producing enough scientists, engineers,
and mathematicians. 203
44. The United States has had to create special passport
guidelines to import scientists and engineers because our
education system cannot produce enough of them. 215
Contents
45. High school exit exams guarantee that our graduates will be
“college ready and prepared to succeed
as workers in a global economy.
46. Advanced placement (AP) courses are providing minority students
an opportunity to get a head start on a college education.
47. College admissions are based on students achievement
in grades K-12 and their SAT or ACT scores.
48. Education will lift the poor out of poverty
and materially enrich our entire nation.
49. IQ tests predict success in life.
That s why schools use them to form ability groups
and pick students for gifted or special-needs tracks.
50. The schools are wasting their time trying to teach problem
solving, creativity, and general thinking skills;
they would be better off teaching the facts students need
to succeed in school and later in life.
