Beschreibung:
The School Reform Landscape: Fear, Mythologies, and Lies describes this nation's policymakers awkwardly stumbling through education reforms based on highly questionable political ideology and high-stakes assessments for all children. Provided are a series of actions that use fear and very unsound research studies to eliminate the American school systems and replace them with a dual-system, which discriminates against the poor, handicapped and students with little social capital. The authors provide a series of needed actions to make American public education the best it can be.
