Άνισες βάσει σχεδίου. Οι εξετάσεις υψηλών απαιτήσεων και η τυποποίηση της ανισότητας.

by Wayne Au

By putting historical, social, and educational elements together, Unequal By Design shows high-stakes, standardized tests are not only premised on the creation of inequality, but that their structures are inextricably intertwined with social inequalities that exist outside of schools.

Reviews

[Joomi Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is best for children to be home schooled.

[William · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a must-read for educators and for parents of school children, heck even most high school students should read this. Au wrote a thoughtful treatise on why we should abolish high-stakes standardized testing, and more than just a critique he offers some alternatives. This conversation is long overdue.
