Description
"In A School by Every Other Name Edward S. Ebert II and Deborah Scott Studebaker suggest that the fundamental problem facing public education is that education is essentially an institution. The failure of school reform efforts to elevate public education in the United States to a preeminent position is due to the myth of educational reform, the mistaken belief that substantive changes actually occur. Yet how different is education today from what it was fifty, one hundred, even two hundred years ago? Reform has become a part of the survival mechanism that keeps the institution in business. A School by Every Other Name calls for a revolution that would reconceptualize the institution of education. That effort begins with overcoming our national cultural identity crisis. Rather than prescribing what must be done, A School by Every Other Name presents poignant perspectives and backgrounds and then invites the scholar to begin answering the questions that could lead to building a new institution of education. Not just a book about education, A School by Every Other Name is a workbook for beginning the dialogue toward systemic change in American schools."--Jacket.
