Book Preview:

#1 The education industry has settled on finding ways to look good rather than be good. They play a numbers game, masking problems with statistics. This helps their careers, but harms kids.

#2 The graduation rate increased throughout Barack Obama’s presidency, but not every single one of those graduates was accepted to college. In reality, half of the students were truant for more than three months, which is against district policy.

#3 Obama praised the rising graduation rates in D. C. and across the country, but similar maneuvers were responsible for increases in graduation rates only in wealthy black-majority counties.

#4 The for-profit education industry developed methods to take students who were illiterate or refused to go to school, and turn them into glowing statistics for administrators and politicians, without actually improving the students.
