Discipline and control over students, Aronowitz argues, are now the primary criteria of success, and genuine learning is sacrificed to a new educational militarism. In an age where school districts have imposed testing, teachers must teach to test, and both teacher and student are robbed of their autonomy and creativity. The crisis extends to higher education, where all but a few elite institutions are becoming increasingly narrowly focused and vocational in their teaching. With education lacking opportunity for self-reflection on broad social and historical dynamics, Against Schooling asks How will society be able to solve its most pressing problems? Aronowitz proposes innovative approaches to get schools back on track.. Additional ISBNs 9781594515026, 9781594515033, 1594515026, 1594515034 Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/G3folh
