A Lesson in Throwing Money.

Bracey, Gerald W.

Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n10 p789-90 Jun 1998

Paul Ciotti's monograph "Money and School Performance" exposing the "desegregation debacle" in Kansas City (Missouri) Public Schools is an improperly aimed salvo in the "money matters" debate. Actually, money should not be thrown at politically dysfunctional schools with incompetent teachers, administrators, and board members operating under a plan constructed by a naive lawyer and approved by a naive judge.
