Reviews / Votes
"This book offers new and important research on a timely, critical, and contentious topic, the standards movement as a privatizing and profit-making venture. Representing work by respected established and emergent scholars from the US, Asia and Europe, it argues that emphases on accountability and performance are bad for our schools, students, teachers and communities, and offers powerful examples of resistance to these damaging trends." - Therese Quinn, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA"Ness and Farenga have assembled an insightful array of topics--ranging from testing to issues of race, gender and class--critical for understanding today's educational climate. In an era of intensifying privatization, this text is a must-read for anyone seeking to not only understand, but also resist what is happening to the public commons. Those expecting more than lukewarm analyses and reformism will not be disappointed."--Faith Agostinone Wilson, Professor of Education, Aurora University, USA

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
