"This research should make us extremely sceptical that the constant
search for 'higher standards' and for ever-increasing achievement
scores can do much more than put in place seemingly neutral devices
for restratification." - Michael W Apple, John Bascom Professor of
Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies,
University of Wisconsin, Madison Recent educational reforms have
raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing
inequalities based on 'race' and social class. School-by-school
'league tables' play a central role in the reforms. These have
created an A-to-C economy where schools and teachers are judged on
the proportion of students attaining five or more grades at levels
A-to-C. To satisfy these demands schools are embracing new and ever
more selective attempts to identify 'ability'. Their assumptions
and practices embody a new IQism: a simple , narrow and regressive
ideology of intelligence that labels working class and minority
students as likely failures and justifies rationing provision to
support those (often white, middle class boys) already marked for
success. This book reports detailed research in two secondary
schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures
on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity. It will
be important reading for any teacher, researcher or policymaker
with an interest in equality in education.
