Demythologizing Educational Reforms: Responses To The Political And Corporate Takeover Of Education (Routledge Research In Education Policy And Politics)

There are dozens of myths surrounding educational reform today, maintaining the school's role in economic competitiveness, the deficiency of teachers, the benefits of increased testing, and the worthiness of privatization. In this volume, prominent educational writers tackle contemporary issues such as neoliberalism, suburban schooling, charter schools and parental involvement to uncover meaningful improvements in education which are better grounded in the social, economic, political and educational realities of today's society.
