This book examines the changes in educational policy in the U.S.
and Britain over the last twenty-five years. Hursh argues that
education in the States and Britain has been radically transformed,
first through efforts to create curricular standards, more recently
through an emphasis on accountability measured by standardized
tests, and currently, efforts to introduce market competition and
private services into educational systems. Hursh offers an
alternative to the neoliberal conception of society and education
complete with examples of parents who reject the current emphasis
on individual success and schools that promote civic-mindedness.
