Description

In this controversial work, Hervenne and Ray McDermott examine education as a cultural phenomenon. The book looks at how we construct artifice and reality within our academic environments. Through five detailed case studies, the authors investigate how the American education system defines and measures success and failure. This text explores the reasons behind the polarization between suburban and urban schools. Instead of focusing on individual people or specific daily activities, the authors look at the institutions themselves. They ask fundamental questions about who decides the metrics for success and how those ideas are formed. This book provides a deep look into why our current system often focuses on negative outcomes and how institutional structures shape the educational experience in America.
