Resource Allocation Study

Summary

Resource Allocation Study investigates the crucial link between school funding, resource distribution, and student achievement, addressing whether current systems provide equitable opportunities for all students. The book examines both the fairness of resource allocation across different schools and student populations (equity) and how effectively schools use their resources to improve student outcomes (efficiency). Understanding these aspects is vital for developing strategies to enhance educational outcomes. 

 
The study argues that equitable and efficient resource allocation is essential for closing achievement gaps. It challenges the idea that simply increasing funding is sufficient, advocating for targeted resource allocation to address specific school and student needs. 

 
Presenting evidence from fiscal reports, achievement data, and case studies, the book progresses from defining key terms and outlining the history of school finance policies to analyzing resource inputs and their impact on educational processes. Finally, the book synthesizes findings and offers policy recommendations for promoting greater equity and efficiency in school resource allocation. 

 
This approach provides a framework for analyzing resource allocation decisions applicable from individual schools to entire states, making it a valuable resource for educational researchers, policymakers, and school administrators.

Citizen Capitalism - How a...

Tamara Belinfanti, Lynn A....

Top Cornell law professor Lynn Stout and her coauthors Tamara Belinfanti and Sergio Gramitto offer a visionary but practical proposal to provide a guaranteed minimum income-it not only avoids creating a new government program or increasing taxes, but also gives the entire citizenry more influence in the economy. 
 
 
This book offers a powerful and simple plan for simultaneously accomplishing two far-reaching objectives: (1) providing a basic income for all citizens and (2) making capitalism more democratic and responsive to the will of the people. The authors detail how we can create a universal fund (similar to a mutual fund) through donations of stock and other securities by corporations and individuals. This fund would be owned by, and would provide an income supplement for, all Americans. It would be an independent entity, not a government agency.  Its citizen-owners would participate in governing the fund and directing its share voting choices.  This would give average citizens more influence over and a larger share of the financial benefits from the corporations that are the engines of our economy. It would make corporations part of the solution to income inequality. The result will be making capitalism work better for all while bringing hope to us, our children, and our society.

Sirius the Star of the Maltese...

Lenie Reedijk

Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed.
From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.”
(Giovanni Bonello is a human rights lawyer and judge who served at the European Court of Human Rights for 12 years)
