Beschreibungen

<p><span>It’s All About Learning: The Struggle in Choosing Traditional Public Education or Privatization</span><span> is a reckoning with the contemporary struggle over choice about learning in public education. The future for learning depends on choice aligned with one of two major perspectives: traditional public education or privatization education. The profound implications of this struggle are too important to focus on gadgets, technology, and adult-centric intentions, also known as “chasing rabbits.” Instead, this book examines the purpose, intentions, and consequences of the perspectives battling for control of learning and teaching.</span></p>
<p><span>When this conflict is resolved, a choice for learning will emerge: </span><span>how to think </span><span>or what-to-think. Who will write the narrative for the history of the future of US public education that best serves all students and the democracy in which they live? A reckoning with the struggle over choice about learning is past due. This book makes it clear that the time has come for traditional public educators to bypass the marketplace of privatization education and prioritize student-centric learning in traditional US public education.</span></p>
<p><span>It’s All About Learning </span><span>asserts that education in America is headed down one of two roads: traditional public education or privatization education. Wedded to free market theory, privatization education is the realization of adult-centric intentions. In contrast, traditional public education is the pursuit of student-centric intentions.</span></p>
