Debating is out of fashion. No one raises the question of what has
gone wrong when the entire political project of a society is
seemingly reduced to 'education, education, education'. The aim of
this lively and challenging book is to provide the stimulus for
further thinking about key educational issues by exposing and
explaining the assumptions behind this obsession. Over forty
contributors, all experts in their fields, have written short,
accessible, informed and lively articles for students, teachers and
others involved in education. They address broad questions that are
central to any understanding of what is really going on in the
education system. Topics covered include: the new relationship of
the state to education; the changed nature of schools; whether
teachers are afraid to teach; the problems with circle time,
anti-bullying strategies, citizenship education, and multiple
intelligences; the retreat from truth and the demise of theory in
teacher training, and much more. Everyone learning to teach in
primary and secondary schools and further education colleges will
find this book relevant to their programmes. In particular the book
would be useful for students on Education Studies courses.
