In a society increasingly dominated by zero-tolerance thinking,
""Punishing Schools"" argues that our educational system has become
both the subject of legislative punishment and the instrument of
punishment for children. Authors Lyons and Drew analyze the
connections between a culture of economic punishment of our schools
(by the diversion of funding to charter schools, the imposition of
unfunded mandates, and the enforcement of dubious forms of teacher
accountability) and the imposition by those schools of punitive
controls on their own students - a vicious cycle that creates fear
and encourages the development of passive and dependent citizens.
Based on in-depth interviews and detailed analysis of official
documents, newspapers, and popular texts, ""Punishing Schools""
offers a rich and incisive critique of our public education system
and its role in our national political culture.
