Sinopse

Education Funding explores the complex systems that govern how schools are funded in the United States, emphasizing the critical role these systems play in shaping educational opportunities. The book argues that current funding models often fail to adequately support all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It examines the historical evolution of school finance, from local property taxes to federal contributions, highlighting landmark court cases and legislative acts that have shaped current practices. Understanding these funding mechanisms and their impact is essential for anyone concerned about educational equity and outcomes.

The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like funding sources (local, state, federal) and various funding formulas. It then analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of different models, explores the role of federal programs like Title I and IDEA, and investigates the influence of state policies on resource allocation. For instance, the book considers how debates around school choice and teacher compensation impact funding equity.

Ultimately, the book offers recommendations for improving funding equity and efficiency, drawing on evidence-based research and data from various educational agencies. By integrating policy analysis with practical implications, Education Funding provides a comprehensive overview suitable for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of school finance. It equips readers with the knowledge needed to advocate for a more equitable and effective education system. The book's accessible approach and focus on practical application make it a valuable resource for understanding how funding decisions impact students and schools.

Vote With Your Phone - Why...

Bradley Tusk

Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
 
  
 
Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
 
  
 
Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
 
  
 
Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.

They'll Never Hold Me

Michael Adams

The life and crimes of Kevin John Simmonds, Australia's most daring fugitive. 
 
In 1959, Australians thrilled to every move made by a new criminal underdog, a Ned Kelly for the rock 'n' roll era. 
Kevin John Simmonds was a charismatic crook whose brazen crime spree had scored him a lengthy prison sentence. But as he was led from court, he boasted, 'They'll never hold me.' 
Two months later, Simmo made good on his promise, staging a daring escape from Long Bay Gaol. When his bid for freedom took a deadly turn, legendary Detective Ray 'the Gunner' Kelly took charge of the search, putting the fugitive in the crosshairs of the biggest armed manhunt in Australian history. 
They'll Never Hold Me is the true story of an antihero with a code of honour who captured the public's hearts and minds even as he enraged the cops and the establishment. Brilliantly researched and written by Michael Adams, of the Forgotten Australia podcast, this never-before-told tale takes us beyond the public adventures that made Simmo into Public Enemy No. 1 to reveal the haunting tragedies he was trying to outrun – and the terrible fate that even he might not escape.
