Educating America - Lessons Learned in the Nation's Corporations (Hardcover)

Public education can learn from corporate training programs. Jack Bowsher, controller of a billion-dollar-a-year budget as Director of Education at IBM, is one of the few people with a proven track record in education and training. This book outlines an incisive, workable program for the revival of our educational system. The author takes a close look at what's wrong with our schools, and tells why many solutions don't work. He then applies the best elements of corporate education, arguing against merely throwing more money and more teachers into an already troubled system.
