Since you didn't provide the choices you were given your answer will be a general one. In 1980's when the book came out it began the theory that education needed to be seen as a business and that students needed to be educated for the future of business. The problem with this theory is that not all students learn the same, teaching is an objective profession, and testing really doesn't prove students know what is taught, but can test well. The book changed the focus of education and this resulted in the movement of school reform. The basic problem with school reform is that it is dependent on where a person lives. There is no consensus or consistency concerning reform and there is a need for a national policy instead of the random laws that are passed by each state.
