Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Erosion of Education in America, written by a veteran educator with over 30 years of classroom experience, examines the cultural shifts, both philosophical and practical, that have impacted American education. Rather than presenting a single focus on what schools themselves can do internally, the author documents the significant changes in both the content and agent of education; and discusses the roles of family, State, and religious faith in shaping the emerging generation. Education is built upon certain philosophical commitments and values, and is therefore religious in nature, to some degree, even if God is ignored or left out of the equation. In the current era, secular education has chosen the gods of tolerance, diversity, and human achievement. The coherence of truth has been suppressed in the process. Enter Technology, a welcome tool, yet it cannot overcome more foundational deficiencies which the author argues is due in part to the diminishment of the Judeo-Christian world-view in our culture. The seeds of the shifts examined in this book were sown in the 19th century, bore fruit in the 20th, and continue into the 21st century. The reader will come to understand what led to the educational revival in America's past, how divergent ideas and outlooks took root, leading to our current situation where the cost of maintaining, the values within, and the return on investment in American schools leaves many parents searching for alternatives. In the final portion of the book, some thoughts on the future and suggestions on navigating the present are offered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans need to know that the public education system in America is rapidly eroding and is in need of a quick fix. You also need to know that there are solutions, a matter that I will discuss in this book. Concerned citizens have attempted for years to get education leaders to evaluate and reform education to meet the needs of a rapidly growing global society. It is interesting that power-hungry people in positions of authority value their positions and privileges more than the children whose futures they are destroying. They do not want American citizens to know the truth about what is really going on in the schools and classrooms. Department of Education gives away millions of dollars in funding to help students who are not achieving at grade level. Yet, little if any change occurs in increasing student achievement. The Department of Education funding provides real educational hope for millions of Americans, yet every twenty-nine seconds a child drops out of school, the achievement gap widens, and more and more students are placed in the juvenile justice system. Wake up, Americans! Read this book and become an advocate for quality education for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The professor and historian delivers a major critique of how political and financial attacks on the academy are undermining our system of higher education. Making a provocative foray into the public debates over higher education, acclaimed historian Ellen Schrecker argues that the American university is under attack from two fronts. On the one hand, outside pressure groups have staged massive challenges to academic freedom, beginning in the 1960s with attacks on faculty who opposed the Vietnam War, and resurfacing more recently with well-funded campaigns against Middle Eastern Studies scholars. Connecting these dots, Schrecker reveals a distinct pattern of efforts to undermine the legitimacy of any scholarly study that threatens the status quo. At the same time, Schrecker deftly chronicles the erosion of university budgets and the encroachment of private-sector influence into academic life. From the dwindling numbers of full-time faculty to the collapse of library budgets, The Lost Soul of Higher Education depicts a system increasingly beholden to corporate America and starved of the resources it needs to educate the new generation of citizens. A sharp riposte to the conservative critics of the academy by the leading historian of the McCarthy-era witch hunts, The Lost Soul of Higher Education, reveals a system in peril—and defends the vital role of higher education in our democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2000 Outstanding Book Award presented by the American Educational Research Association Winner of the 2001 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award Honorable Mention, 2000 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Awards Subtractive Schooling provides a framework for understanding the patterns of immigrant achievement and U.S.-born underachievement frequently noted in the literature and observed by the author in her ethnographic account of regular-track youth attending a comprehensive, virtually all-Mexican, inner-city high school in Houston. Valenzuela argues that schools subtract resources from youth in two major ways: firstly by dismissing their definition of education and secondly, through assimilationist policies and practices that minimize their culture and language. A key consequence is the erosion of students' social capital evident in the absence of academically oriented networks among acculturated, U.S.-born youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenge to narrow, profit-driven conceptions of school success and an argument for protecting public education to ensure that all students become competent citizens in a vibrant democracy In These Schools Belong to You and Me, MacArthur award–winning educator, reformer, and author Deborah Meier draws on her fifty-plus years of experience to argue that the purpose of universal education is to provide young people with an “apprenticeship for citizenship in a democracy.” Through an intergenerational exchange with her former colleague and fellow educator Emily Gasoi, the coauthors analyze the last several decades of education reform, challenging narrow profit-driven conceptions of school success. Reflecting on the trajectory of education and social policies that are leading our country further from rule “of, for, and by the people,” the authors apply their extensive knowledge and years of research to address the question of how public education must change in order to counter the erosion of democratic spirit and practice in schools and in the nation as a whole. Meier and Gasoi candidly reflect on the successes, missteps, and challenges they experienced working in democratically governed schools, demonstrating that it is possible to provide an enriched education to all students, not just the privileged few. Arguing that public education and democracy are inextricably bound, and pushing against the tide of privatization, These Schools Belong to You and Me is a rousing call to both save and improve public schools to ensure that all students are empowered to help shape our future democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of this new book lies in its ambition, its scope, its unexpected connections, and its clarity. The beauty of this book is found in its alternating current of fury and compassion, realism and hope, humour and common sense. It is an exceptional ride. Durrie, now 92 and standing on a long career as educator in both public and private systems, begins with a searing critique of what has gone wrong, and why and how, in conventional teacher-directed education. His examples, thoroughly researched and documented, are often appalling. He continues with an assessment of the price our culture has paid in its mediocrity, in collapse of the arts, and in corrosion of liberal values and authentic democracy. In every debate, he centres children and their innate curiosity, capacity, and eloquence. He buttresses all of this with a long central essay that deals with a history of the many reformers who sought to build an architecture of public education. These are often sad but redeeming tales, amply sourced and cited in 676 (!) footnotes. He concludes with a three-part look at futures. Durrie paints on a vast canvas. He has the gift of uncovering forgotten links, and turning dots into through-lines. He does all of this in a conversational tone chosen to make every reader feel welcome, and to leave inspired. This is a fascinating read even for those well-versed in the legacy of great authors in the field of educational freedom. The book is jam-packed with curious tidbits from all imaginable sources to boost core theses of the author. In his exposure of human ignorance, the author's caustic language is likely to make you laugh more than once.

Download or read book Rethinking education: towards a global common good? written by UNESCO and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth and the creation of wealth have cut global poverty rates, yet vulnerability, inequality, exclusion and violence have escalated within and across societies throughout the world. Unsustainable patterns of economic production and consumption promote global warming, environmental degradation and an upsurge in natural disasters. Moreover, while we have strengthened international human rights frameworks over the past several decades, implementing and protecting these norms remains a challenge.These changes signal the emergence of a new global context for learning that has vital implications for education. Rethinking the purpose of education and the organization of learning has never been more urgent. This book is inspired by a humanistic vision of education and development, based on respect for life and human dignity, equal rights, social justice, cultural diversity, international solidarity and shared responsibility for a sustainable future. It proposes that we consider education and knowledge as global common goods, in order to reconcile the purpose and organization of education as a collective societal endeavour in a complex world.
