High Stakes

Children, Testing, and Failure in American Schools

Edición de la obra High Stakes

Spending a year as teachers at one of the poorest elementary schools in Louisiana, the authors witnessed first hand the damages of the standards and accountability measures forced on poor children. They present their story in journal form, demonstrating how the poverty of the children, the lack of resources of the schools, the demoralization of teachers, and the imposition of the accountability "reforms" are some of the prime factors for the failure of American education. They offer advice for some real reform that would focus on the economic inequality of school districts.
