Beschreibung

While research evidence shows the negative impact of ability grouping on children, this book suggests that the reasonbehind this is the values of empire that governments, schools and many parents still uphold, promoting competition and hierarchies over and above ethical principles on the education of societyâ s most vulnerable, our children.
