America's expenditure in providing free quality education is steadily rising -- while the quality of public-school education appears to deteriorate at an alarming pace. How did this happen? In a new book slated to hit the market this month, veteran educator Donald Lade tackles the most pressing problems of the American public educational system. Diseconomies of Scale in Public Education (Xlibris Publishing), a new non-fiction work by Lade, presents a startling revelation of the over-budgeting, and redundant spending that goes on in the American public educational system.
Diseconomies of Scale in Public Education insightfully answers the most pressing questions regarding good governance in America's public education system by waging a deep-probing examination of the system's budgeting problems. The highly informative, highly practical non-fiction work analyzes, in deep detail, the decades of budgeting by public school districts -- covering topics of funding and allocation, economic climates, and expansion programs. A thoroughly studied subject in this book is the budgeting for school district infrastructures. This underlines the need for school vouchering, which will allow transparency to ensure cost-effective quality education in our public schools.
Using historical facts and figures, Diseconomies of Scale in Public Education presents explicit points of excess budgeting in America's school system. The unprecedented revelations in this book by Lade contain enough convincing data to call for more disclosure on America's spending for free quality education.
