This book is a "must read" for parents and teachers who are
concerned about our current education policies and how they affect
our youngest students. Lesley Koplow brings the experience of being
a young child, a young child's parent, or a teacher of young
children to life in an era when public elementary schools are
besieged by pressure to "win the race." Anyone who wonders what
happened to nurturing early childhood and early grade classrooms
that stimulate the young child's curiosity, creativity and quest to
discover meaning will find the answer here. Advocates for the young
child's right to a supportive, meaningful, relationship- based
learning environment will find a powerful ally, and access to
research revealing the score-driven approach to education as
antithetical to a healthy learning process. Politics Aside supports
the fight for dynamic education and authentic assessment in the
early grades, and may help us garner the strength to "push politics
aside" and make room for classrooms that feed our children's minds
and hearts.
