Why are so many schools
and school districts unable
to make good decisions?  



These two books explain some of the reasons.  
Click on the titles below for more information about these books.
The author shows how the laws
of probability and amazing
experiments prove that a crowd
is almost always smarter than
the smartest person in it, but only
if each person thinks for himself.  
POLITICS AND INFLUENCE MUST
BE ELIMINATED.  Group thinking
is not the goal.  The point is to
compile the information
possessed by each and every
person.
DO TRY THIS AT HOME!

Ask a factual question, and have participants answer with a secret ballot,
without consulting each other. The more people you have, the more accurate
the group answer will be.
The author shows
how people tend to
sabotage each
other and prevent
themselves from
reaching common
goals.
