Eric Hanushek is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research and a member of the Koret Task Force on K–12 Education.
In the following interview, Prof. Hanushek argues that smaller classrooms, which have led California to triple per-student spending, are not nearly as effective as excellent — and better-paid — teachers. He chimes in with numerous critics who believe that state agencies in Sacramento have too much power over local schools.
