WHAT THE FLIP?
Read the original.
"Education is threatened
on a global scale by
forces of neoliberalism,
through high stakes
accountability,
privatization and a
destructive language of
learning.
In this book, teachers from around the world and other educational experts make the case to move away from this uneducational economic approach, to instead embrace a more humane, more democratic approach to education."
