Overturns common misconceptions about charter schools, school choice,
standardized tests, common core curriculum, and teacher evaluations.
Three distinguished educators, scholars, and activists flip the script
on many enduring and popular myths about teachers, teachers' unions, and
education that permeate our culture. By unpacking these myths, and
underscoring the necessity of strong and vital public schools as a
common good, the authors challenge readers--whether parents, community
members, policy makers, union activists, or educators themselves--to
rethink their assumptions.
