Teachers have always been devalued in the United States, but in recent years the pace and intensity of attacks by politicians, the media, and so-called education reformers have escalated sharply. Indeed, the "bad teacher" figure has come to dominate public discourse, obscuring the structural inequities that teachers and students face everyday. This book flips the script on enduring and popular myths about teachers, teachers unions, and education that inform policy discussions and choices. Some of these myths, such as "student scores on standardized tests should be used to evaluate teachers," have ushered in an era of high-stakes exam-centric classrooms. Other myths, such as "unions are good for teachers but bad for kids," have led to reduced protection and rights for teachers in public schools, making it harder for educators to serve their students. By unpacking these myths, and underscoring the necessity of strong and vital public schools as a common good, Ayers and Laura challenge readers - whether parents, community members, or policymakers - to rethink their own assumptions about teaching and education"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-240). 650 0 $a Teachers $z United States. 650 0 $a Teaching $z United States. 650 0 $a Public schools $z United States. 650 0 $a Education $z United States. 651 4 $a United States. 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / Social Science. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Inclusive Education. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Research. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902499 650 7 $a Education $x Aims and objectives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902507 650 7 $a Public schools. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082942 650 7 $a Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144248 650 7 $a Teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144565 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Laura, Crystal T., $e author. 700 1 $a Ayers, Rick, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ayers, William, 1944- author. $t "You can't fire the bad ones!" $d Boston : Beacon Press, 2018 $z 9780807036679 $w (DLC) 2017049877 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025213.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013717.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012414.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20180912010232.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3146E2E491811E8A2116E4897128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
