The failure of leadership who continually look for canned solutions to shift the educational paradigm and change the culture. Paradigm Shi*ted is a look at the educational system from the inside out and the dependency of leadership to outsource their job to some "expert" or "consultant." It's another first-hand account along the lines of System Failure and No Diploma Left Behind that discusses the failure of leadership to follow through with the changes that they always promise are in the best interest of the students. This is not a feel-good book about how everything is great with the system because of the near-perfect graduation rates that administration brags about that are nothing more than acts of legerdemain. Paradigm Shi*ted sheds more light on the tactics of revolving-door administrations use to pull the wool over the eyes of the public when it comes to what really happens in the confines of an inner-city school district.
