Education in Issue Science

"This is a very strong book in an important field--possibly made all the more so by the election of Governor Bush to the Presidency and the empirical grounding of the book in San Antonio, Texas, data. . . . I am confident that the President and his advisors could learn a lot from this book, and it just could be the lever to convince the President's team to embrace new policy details--details that might pave the way for a more widespread adoption of school choice experiments."-- Stephen D. Sugarman, Agnes Roddy Robb Professor of Law, University of California School of Law, Berkeley"Godwin and Kemerer's School Choice Tradeoffs is probably the best overview and appraisal of the school choice issue yet written. It is comprehensive in scope, acquainting readers with every important aspect of the subject, and exploring many of them in great depth. The authors pull together a vast range of scholarly literature and do an admirable job of organizing it, making sense of it, and putting it to use in building their own perspective on the issue. . . . Their treatment comes off as objective and thorough, one that readers can have confidence in and learn from."--Terry M. Moe, Professor of Political Science and Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University"School Choice Tradeoffs sets the issue of educational choice in a very broad context. The issues and tradeoffs are set within a carefully drawn theory of education. The authors rigorously explore the legal, social science, and policy issues surrounding choice, ending with a fascinating and detailed proposal to expand educational choice options and increase equity. This is a must-read book for any serious student of educational reformin America."--John Witte, Director of the La Follette School and Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin, Madison"Most educators and citizens have a visceral response to school choice. Rarely do they have an understanding of the issues.

Why do we make every schoolchild and college student take science? Does every American really need to be scientifically literate? In this provocative book, Morris Shamos, a physicist and science educator of very broad experience, argues that universal scientific literacy is a futile goal, and urges a critical review of the purpose of general education in science. Shamos argues that a meaningful scientific literacy cannot be achieved in the first place, and the attempt is a misuse of human resources on a grand scale. He is skeptical about forecasts of "critical shortfalls in scientific manpower" and about the motives behind crash programs to get more young people into the science pipeline. Finally, he is convinced that, as presently taught, the vast majority of students come out of science classes with neither an intellectual grasp nor a pragmatic appreciation of science. Shamos advocates instead a practical science education curriculum that grants the impossibility of every American's learning enough science to make independent judgments about major scientific issues. Rather than giving children the heavy diet of scientific terms and facts they now get, he would emphasize: an appreciation of science as an ongoing cultural enterprise; an awareness of technology's impact on one's personal health, safety, and surroundings; and the need to use experts wisely in resolving science/society issues.
