This book advocates for improving the state of rural education through school consolidation and implementing transportation of students to a central location. The author, a professor of applied mathematics and president of the board of education, presents a compelling case for consolidating several weak, struggling schools into a single vigorous one, with a focus on improving the quality of education in rural areas. Citing examples from Ohio, Massachusetts, and his home state of Georgia, where consolidation has been successfully implemented, the author demonstrates how it can lead to increased attendance, better teacher qualifications, and a broader curriculum. He also addresses concerns about transportation, arguing that it improves student health and safety while increasing access to education for children living in remote areas. This book is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in improving the quality of education in rural communities. Its insights are particularly relevant in the context of ongoing debates about educational equity and the need for innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by rural schools.
