School and society

by Walter Feinberg

"This widely used text has been expanded to include the most important issues in contemporary schooling. School and Society, Fourth Edition uses realistic case studies, dialogues, and open-ended questions designed to stimulate thinking about problems related to school and society including curriculum reform, social justice, and competing forms of research. Written in a style that speaks directly to today's educator, this book tackles such crucial questions as: Do school socialize students to become productive workers? Does schooling reproduce social class, and pass on ethnic and gender biases? Can a teacher avoid passing on dominant social and cultural values? What besides subjects do students really learn in schools?"--Jacket.
