Society debates, legislates, and regulates education more than it
does any other profession. It has become popular to think that
democracy gives everyone an equal say in educational matters, while
those in other professions are relatively free to work according to
standards set by their professional organizations. It would be
unthinkable to mandate that a dentist give patients a certain
number of fillings per week, with anything less being labeled a
"failure." Yet we allow politicians to set specific standards and
test scores for our children, forcing teachers to endure countless
commission reports and endless political debates about what should
happen in our schools. What if the voices of our teachers were
heard equally in today's public discourse? Teachers work with
children everyday and have always understood intuitively the
materials and curriculum needed. Teacher research, however, allows
teachers to go beyond intuitive understanding to a level of
documented inquiry that can stand the light public scrutiny in
publications, news media, workshops, and town meetings. In Silence
Is Complicity, Dr. Finser offers teachers the tools needed to speak
out and be heard, empowering their advocacy for educational change.
With first-hand experience and earned knowledge, teachers have the
real authority to mandate the needs of their students. It's time to
give teachers the necessary tools for a greater voice in
educational matters. Teacher research, as outlined in this book,
can support a dynamic counter-movement that empowers teachers,
parents, and communities to say, "Politicians, back off "
