The Lowering of Higher Education in America: Why Financial Aid Should Be Based on Student Performance
I am interested in this topic intellectually and work in a field tangentially related to education but even I have found this to be "eating my vegetables." There are some interesting topics in here and the conclusions drawn from statistics contradict much of the political opinions of the left and the right (e.g. relative influence of parents' human capital, small class sizes on outcomes).
However, when the writer has to confess his limitations by advising the reader to skip over certain statistics-intensive parts along the way, you know you need to have a lot of patience. Unfortunately, even the summary conclusions are not easy to get through and reading a book like this reminds me of how difficult writing is.
So if you are a serious PhD candidate and are used to academic-ese or a think-tank policy person looking to pluck a piece of education research, there may be material for you. But if you are a school board member, principal or teacher, I would prepare myself for a tough slog.
