Interesting thoughts but biased,

This review is from: Conflict of Interests: The Politics of American Education, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This text was recently used for one of my doctoral courses and I found it a very difficult read to "connect" with often having to re-read chapters over-and-over again. The professor forced us to submit reflective journals for each chapter attempting to watch our growth in thinking about some of the issues Spring raises. Although I beleive that some of his information has merit, he fails to present both sides of an issue. For instance, in a chapter dealing with the political uses of the court system in education, he never addresses the busing issues that happened in the 1960s in Boston.Additionally, I am not so certain that everything is the POWER STRUGGLE that Spring purports it to be. Also, some of his citations are really "old" that he uses to support his premises. "Food for thought" but one-sided indeed. |
