STRONG RECOMMENDATION. This is one trove Ive used time and again for my research and classroom practice teaching at the college level. A point of reference for whenever I teach radical Marxist education theory, the book also brilliantly describes the contradictions that lie at the heart of public education: since the mid-nineteenth century the dual objectives of educational reformers—equality of opportunity and social control—have been intermingled, the merger of these two threads so nearly complete that it becomes impossible to distinguish between the two. Schooling has been at once something done to the poor and for the poor.… The unequal contest between social control and social justice is evident in the total functioning of U.S. education (p. 179). #thingsstudentsteachme
