Why US education deserves our praise (and funding) - John T. Harvey - Pragmatic Economics - Forbes - 0 views
-
I want to shift my focus for this entry and talk about something not directly related to macroeconomics (although I will pull it back in later): the US education system. It is a very hot topic at the moment as states everywhere are reducing expenditures in the face of fiscal crises. This is a recipe for disaster. Not only is their justification questionable, but it will only serve to make economic recovery more difficult. People believe that the budget choices we are making today are saving our children's future. It is, in fact, ruining it.

It's not often that we hear education reformers bragging in public about how they got the better of a teacher's union.

Principal Career Paths and School Outcomes - 0 views
-
Principals tend to prefer working in schools with higher-achieving students from more advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Principals often use schools with many poor or low-achieving students as stepping stones to what they view as more desirable assignments. District leadership can also exacerbate principal turnover by implementing policies aimed at improving low-performing schools such as rotating school leaders. Using longitudinal data from one large urban school district we find principal turnover is detrimental to school performance. Frequent turnover results in lower teacher retention and lower student achievement gains, which are particularly detrimental to students in high-poverty and failing school
