Introduction : mobility, property, and community -- Early American land policies and the marvelously efficient one-room school -- Explaining the school district consolidation movement -- "Will I see you in September?" : labor mobility and the standard school calendar -- The economic geography of school districts -- Education reforms and social capital in school districts
"In this provocative book, William Fischel argues that the historical development of school districts reflects Americans' desire to make their communities attractive to outsiders. The result has been a standardized, interchangeable system of education not overly demanding for either students or teachers, one that involved parents and local voters in its governance and finance. Innovative in its focus on bottom-up processes generated by individual behaviors rather than top-down decisions by bureaucrats, Making the Grade provides a new perspective on education reform that emphasizes how public schools form the basis for the localized social capital in American towns and cities"--Provided by publisher
