Making Failure Pay: For-Profit Tutoring, High-Stakes Testing, and Public Schools
Jill P. Koyama
A little-discussed aspect of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a mandate that requires failing schools to hire after-school tutoring companies and to pay them with federal funds. This title takes a hard look at the implications of this blurring of the boundaries between government, schools, and commerce in New York City.
