About this book

Blackboard and the Bottom Line takes issue with a claim made in 2003 by the US Secretary of Education, who said that education should be viewed in the way Ford Motor Company viewed its results. Larry Cuban asks whether that comparison holds.

His argument is that the idea that schools should be more businesslike has a long history in America, yet nobody has demonstrated that a business model works when applied to schools.
