Description
"Head Start. Bilingual education. Small class size. Social promotion. School funding. Virtually every school system in America has had to face these issues over the past thirty years. Advocates and dissenters have declared confidently that "the research" is on their side. But is it?". "In Children as Pawns, Timothy A. Hacsi continues the astute and deeply researched history of social policies and ideological controversies about the care of children that he began in his widely praised Second Home. Turning now to the swirling politics of education beginning in the mid-twentieth century and continuing today, he brings together the recent history of educational policy and politics with the research evidence that supposedly grounds them. Taking on five of the most controversial school reforms, Hacsi presents the illuminating, often-forgotten stories behind them."--BOOK JACKET.
