Summary: An engaging exploration of our schools
Review: This book is clearly well researched, yet manages to remain very accessable. Ouchi makes a convincing case for the restructuring of our school systems. It disassembles many of the current myths in the problems of school systems to get to the core of the problem: the central control of the power and money. This is an engaging book that makes its points clearly and concisely.

Summary: A Must Read if You Care About the Education of Children
Review: William Ouchi has taken his management and organizational expertise and applied it to a detailed and thorough analysis of public and private schools in six North American cities. His research is thorough and extensive and his conclusions on what we need to do to fix our K-12 schools are potentially revolutionary. His writing style is clear and concise. He includes personal anecdotes and timely references along with interesting observations about the central administration, teachers, classrooms and students which he surveyed. With the extensive data and common sense conclusions, parents and school districts should be able to fashion a better educational structure and thus a better learning situation for their students.
