Understanding the Power and Politics of Public Education researches
the history and trends of educating the populace in the United
States. Demographic changes and socio-economic diversity have
altered the needs for traditional approaches. Policy makers are
implored to become familiar with proven educational research to
implement policies that service the needs of all youth. Public
schools now enroll more minority students than ever before. Diverse
languages, cultures and experiences call for pedagogy to meet the
needs and educational success for new citizens. Teacher training
programs in colleges and universities - along with new curricula -
are in need of revision to promote educational success of new
generations. Understanding the role of experiential background and
its influence on educational success, and social mobility is
necessary for a healthy society and democracy. This book examines
statistical studies showing the impact of environmental issues on
cognitive development and illustrates the educational outcome and
effects of poverty through documented research in areas of health
care, nutrition, pollution, community and family experiences. It
also explores the role of family socio-economic status and compares
the educational readiness of the more and less affluent.
