Assault on Kids: How Hyper-Accountability, Corporatization, Deficit Ideologies, and Ruby Payne Are Destroying Our Schools
ISBN: 9781433112294 / Angielski / Twarda / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Collectively, these trends are seen not just as an imposition, but as an assault on quality pedagogy; an assault on democratic ideals of equity and social justice; and an assault on kids compelled to participate simply because they are public school students. This edited collection is a...
