Assault On Kids Hyperaccountability Corporatization Deficit Ideologies And Ruby Payne Are Destroying Our Schools

the long version

Criticism of the neoliberal remaking of public schooling into a private and corporate enterprise. Collectively, these trends in education are seen not just as an imposition, but as an assault on quality pedagogy; an assault on democratic ideals of equity and social justice; and an assault on kids compelled to participate simply because they are public school students. This collection is a response by critically-minded educators, activists, and scholars as both a reaction to and a call to action against these vilifications. From publisher description.
