Routledge The Big Lies of School Reform - Critical Education Policy Analysis

The Big Lies of School Reform offers a rigorous critical examination of contemporary policy debates shaping United States public education. Through incisive essays, the authors dismantle widely accepted claims about school reform by exposing the hidden assumptions and misinformation propagated by politicians, lobbyists, think tanks, and special interest groups. This Routledge publication reveals how distorted narratives have been strategically employed to reshape public education systems in ways that prioritise private enterprise interests over student outcomes. By analysing the discourse used to justify reform initiatives, the book provides educators, policymakers, and concerned citizens with the evidence-based perspectives needed to evaluate reform proposals critically and advocate for solutions that genuinely serve public education's mission.
