Somewhere. . . there is a place of sanity where education is
intense and substantive. . . . It’s in that place that Deborah
Meier has been working all these years. Her voice conveys a life of
struggle in the front lines-victories and losses, hopes and
disappointments. . . . It’s a voice our nation needs to hear.
–Jonathan Kozol, from the Foreword
Acclaimed educator Deborah Meier offers a fresh take on
standardized tests. While others have criticized standards and what
they measure, Meier rejects the very idea of a centralized
authority that dictates how and what teachers teach.
Standardization, she argues, prevents citizens-including
teachers-from emerging as thoughtful, responsible adults, seriously
engaged with shaping their own schools, classrooms, and
communities. As a result, young people can’t learn from them how to
be thoughtful, responsible adults and good citizens, the primary
goal of public education in a democracy.
The New Democracy Forum is a series of short paperback originals
exploring creative solutions to our most urgent national
concerns.
”A civic treasure. . . . A truly good idea, carried out with
intelligence and panache.” –Robert Pinsky
