Challenging the normative paradigm that school readiness is a
positive and necessary objective for all young children, this book
asserts that the concept is a deficit-based practice that fosters
the continuation of discriminatory classifications. Tager draws on
findings of a qualitative study to reveal how the neoliberal agenda
of school reform based on high-stakes testing sorts and labels
children as non-ready, affecting their overall schooling careers.
Tager reflects critically on the relationship between race and
school readiness, showing how the resulting exclusionary measures
perpetuate the marginalization of low-income Black children from an
early age. Disrupting expected notions of readiness is imperative
to ending practices of structural classism and racism in early
childhood education.
