Produktbeschreibung
A trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive waysâEUR"and how to fight backâEURA powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nationâEUR(TM)s public schools. . . . If you care about the future of our society, read this book.âEUR? âEUR"Diane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of ErrorIn the âEURvigorous, well-informedâEUR? (Kirkus Reviews) A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door, the co-hosts of the popular education podcast Have You Heard expose the potent network of conservative elected officials, advocacy groups, funders, and think tanks that are pushing a radical vision to do away with public education. âEURCut[ing] through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovationsâEUR? (Mike Rose), Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire lay bare the dogma of privatization and reveal how it fits into the current context of right-wing political movements. A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door âEURgoes above and beyond the typical explanationsâEUR? (SchoolPolicy.org), giving readers an up-close look at the policiesâEUR"school vouchers, the war on teachersâEUR(TM) unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and moreâEUR"driving the movementâEUR(TM)s agenda. Called âEURwell-researched, carefully argued, and alarmingâEUR? by Library Journal, this smart, essential book has already incited a public reckoning on behalf of the millions of families served by the American educational systemâEUR"and many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. âEURJust as with good sci-fi,âEUR? according to Jacobin, âEURthe authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.âEUR?
