Title: Tough Love for Schools Essays on Competition, Accountability, and Excellence Authors: M. Hess, Frederick Description: In the world of K–12 schooling, you have to look long and hard to find those jaundiced enough to declare publicly that teachers are no more saintly than anyone else, that accountability systems should shutter poor schools and remove lousy teachers, that schools should be more efficient and cost-effective, that profit-driven competition might be good for public education, that teaching experience is not essential to being a school principal, or that public schools may already have all the money they need.
