After nearly twenty years of a “less is more” approach to antitrust, the Department of Justice under the Clinton administration took action against several major corporations that rely on financial, transportation, and electronic networks to support their businessâ€â€ÂVisa/MasterCard, American Airlines, and Microsoft. In High Stakes Antitrust, noted scholars with divergent opinions examine the impact and validity of the Justice Department’s actions. Some believe that it was well within the law to pursue these companies, while others argue that the administration exceeded its authority. They all agree, however, that the impact of the Clinton administration’s antitrust policies will be felt for quite some time.
The federal government’s No Child Left Behind Act has thrust high-stakes testing (its goals, methods, and consequences) into the educational limelight. The four-fold purpose of this book is to: 1) describe the nature of high-stakes testing; 2) identify types of collateral damage that have attended the testing programs; 3) analyze methods different groups of people have chosen for coping with the damage; and 4) suggest lessons to be learned from the high-stakes-testing experience. The six groups of people whose coping strategies are inspected include: a) politicians and their staffs; b) educational administrators and their staffs; c) parents and the public; d) test makers and test administrators; e) teachers; and f) students. Importantly, the author avoids aligning himself with the test-bashing rhetoric of those who oppose high-stakes testing, especially the No Child Left Behind Act.
