Discipline and control over students, Aronowitz argues, are now the primary criteria of success, and genuine learning is sacrificed to a new educational militarism. In an age where school districts have imposed testing, teachers must teach to test, and both teacher and student are robbed of their autonomy and creativity. The crisis extends to higher education, where all but a few elite institutions are becoming increasingly narrowly focused and vocational in their teaching. With education lacking opportunity for self-reflection on broad social and historical dynamics, Against Schooling asks \"How will society be able to solve its most pressing problems?\" Aronowitz proposes innovative approaches to get schools back on track..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Aronowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594515034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594515033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.55w x 0.56d","brand":"Stanley Aronowitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478775947519,"sku":"9781594515033","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38601c34-bc76-43c8-8a5a-e133076f0779.jpg?v=1715935720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-schooling-stanley-aronowitz-9781594515033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
