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, the editors argue that
this discussion has been co-opted to reflect the values and
worldviews of special interest groups such as elites in power,
politicians, corporate educational foundations, and the media.
Prominent educational writers tackle contemporary issues such as
neoliberalism, suburban schooling, charter schools and parental
involvement. They expose the "logic behind the talk" and critically
examine these problematic beliefs to uncover meaningful
improvements in education which are better grounded in the social,
economic, political and educational realities of contemporary
society."
