Reviews"The authors make a convincing and data-driven case to fund students directly instead of school systems." --Corey DeAngelis, director of school choice, Reason Foundation, "This book is, I hope, just the first step in a long-standing and profound collaboration." --Derrell Bradford, executive vice president, 50CAN, "No change in the educational space comes easy, and--as Bolick and Hardiman show--America's troubled education system needs bold new solutions." -- The Federalist Society, "A path forward to a transformed system that would unlock opportunity and lifelong success for every child." --Governor Jeb Bush, chair, Foundation for Excellence in Education

SynopsisClint Bolick and Kate J. Hardiman begin with a thought experiment: how would we structure a 21st-century K-12 school system if we were starting from scratch, attending to contemporary parental needs and harnessing the power of technology? Maintaining that the status quo is unacceptable, they take a forward-thinking look at how choice, competition, deregulation, and decentralization can create disruptive innovation and reform education for all students. The US Supreme Court proclaimed 65 years ago in Brown v. Board of Education that our schools must provide equal educational opportunities, but as Bolick and Hardiman argue we have yet to make good on that promise. School systems are bound to antiquated structures, outdated technology, and bureaucratic systems that work for adults, not children. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how ossified the traditional public school system has become. Today's ruptures in traditional learning create opportunity for reinvention. Unshackled explains that technology can redefine the ways students learn in and out of the classroom and highlights the benefits of expanding educational freedom so that families are able to choose an education that fits their child's needs., Maintaining that the status quo is unacceptable, the authors of this volume take a forward-thinking look at how choice, competition, deregulation, and decentralization can create disruptive innovation and reform education for all students., Clint Bolick and Kate J.
