The book both diagnoses a problem and offers a solution. The problem? The right has too narrowly focused on school choice, campus speech, and shrinking Washington's footprint, while the left has sought to subsidise and supersise the status quo. The solution? An education system imbued with shared values, respectful of family ties, and equipped for the challenges of the 21st century. Rooted in fundamental conservative principles, the book explains both how we got here and where we need to go when it comes to early childhood, K-12, and higher education. Eschewing performative polemics, this book offers a field guide to bringing education back to its formative mission. Readers from across the ideological spectrum will benefit from engaging with the provocative analysis Hess and McShane offer, whether or not they agree with the policies they propose. Education is the foundation on which America's future will be constructed, and \u003cem\u003eGetting Education Right\u003c\/em\u003e provides a timely blueprint for that project.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA conservative vision for the direction of American education in early childhood, K-12, and higher education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stimulating and informative presentation for audiences across the ideological spectrum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn explanation of what it means to be a conservative in education today applied to a series of crucial questions about American schooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA readable and accessible text with plenty of anecdotes, provocative data points, and real-world solutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthors who are especially well-suited to this task given their prominence as influential conservative scholars and pundits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents (Tentative)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
