Blackboard and the Bottom Line

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Blackboard and the Bottom Line by Larry Cuban, published by Harvard University Press in 2007. This compelling 272-page paperback challenges the popular notion that schools should operate more like businesses. Cuban critically examines the historical context of this idea in America and argues that no successful application of business models to education has been demonstrated. Through rigorous analysis and engaging prose, he invites readers to reconsider the implications of treating education as a commodity. This book is essential for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of education and business practices. Dive into this enlightening work to understand the complexities of educational reform and the limitations of business strategies in schools.
