Beschreibung:
Jal Mehta is Associate Professor of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is the co-author of Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings (Basic Books, 2005).
The Allure of Order traces the cyclical efforts to 'order' American schooling over the course of the twentieth century, from 1920s reform efforts up through No Child Left Behind and the current school accountability movement. The book explores why reformers from both the left and right have repeatedly placed such high hopes in these reforms and why teachers and schools have been unable to resist these external reformers. As he shows, the measurable hasrepeatedly crowded out the educationally meaningful, and reforms have never realized the hopes that teachers and reformers placed in them.
