The time has come to focus on teaching and learning that all
American students deserve. Quality instruction that engages all
students with thinking skills that create successful intelligence
for the future of all students is offered throughout traditional
public education in the US. But, an adult-centered perspective
about schooling-free market theory-stands in the way of sustaining
and improving the comprehensive teaching and learning offered by
traditional public education. Traditional public education in the
US is under attack. This book details the effects of this assault
by the proponents of free market schooling and uses data-based
research to fend off the attack. Key aspects of traditional public
education that benefit all of America's students are compared with
the adult-centric, exclusionary, intentions of choice schooling or
privatization. The critical importance of traditional public
education to the future of US democracy is explored. A primary
purpose of traditional public education-how to think-and examples
of quality day-to-day instruction are shared. On behalf of all US
students, this book develops concepts including points of practice,
function, and mediated identity. The value of comprehensive
traditional public education deserves a vigorous defense and this
book is written to provide it.
Traditional public educators in the US have too little information
about the free market of schooling, otherwise known as
privatization/choice education. As a result, traditional public
education colleagues have lost sight of where they are and how they
got there. In this primer, educators, parents/caregivers, and
policymakers are offered an examination of the forces and factors
that undercut traditional public education and an inquiry into the
primary purpose and quality instruction that distinguishes
traditional public education from free market schooling. Without
knowing about the educational misdirection fostered by free market
schooling, traditional public education in the US cannot invest in
continuous improvement necessary to enrich the futures of all
students and our nation’s democracy. The time has come for
traditional public educators to study how we got out on a limb.
This book explores the nature of free market schooling and
discusses the information that traditional public educators need to
muster a defense of purpose, quality, social justice, and how to
think. Practical and theoretical insights throughout this book
focus on professional practice in traditional public education as
the means by which colleagues can assert excellence on behalf of
all students while thwarting the negative impacts of free market
schooling.

The deck is stacked against educators and parents/caregivers
looking for educational adequacy in contemporary US education. Too
often, satisfactory quality in the good public school is identified
based on opinion, the dubious value of standardized test results,
and marketing ploys. Moreover, the contemporary purpose of US
education and the definition of educational adequacy are wild cards
that prevent most from playing a winning hand. Finding the good
public school is left to chance. This book initiates a search to
transform this state of affairs. All students deserve a
comprehensive public education that invests in the original power
of education, dynamic instruction, and principled reasoning. This
discussion tackles the barriers-the eye of the beholder, the
tyranny of either/or, and standardized testing-that hobble the
capacities of educators and students. Once these barriers are
removed, the determinants of comprehensive public education-power,
policy, and instruction-emerge. From these discoveries implications
are derived that indicate how comprehensive public education
engages educators and students with a transformed definition of
educational adequacy. The good public school depends on this and a
complete readjustment of the purpose of US public education. This
search enables educators and parents/caregivers to identify and
establish the good public school without taking any chances.
