American schools are undergoing huge changes, among the most significant
of which is that their size is increasing rapidly. This book lays out
very practical approaches to making our ever-increasingly large schools
work more effectively. By closely analyzing the advantages and
disadvantages of large schools, the author can provide effective tools
and strategies for dealing with them. Shapiro digs away at the foreseen
and unforeseen consequences of this rapid escalation of size, and
presents practical, tried-and-true strategies for undoing some of the
more unfortunate results of this social trend or drift.
