Liberating Learning: Technology, Politics, and the Future of American Education
Terry M. Moe and John E. Chubb’s landmark bestseller, Politics, Markets and America’s Schools, was an early argument for local control of schools. Now, in their thought-provoking new book, Liberating Learning: Technology, Politics, and the Future of American Education, Drs. Moe and Chubb maintain that technology can transform K-12 education in America. They argue that its salutary effects are being blocked by entrenched interests, including teachers’ unions and other bureaucracies with a stake in keeping things as they are. They contend that, although it may take decades, change is already coming, and the power of the big interests won’t last.
