Based upon the belief that a “foundations perspective” is a valuable tool in helping to improve schools, this book offers an alternative to traditional foundational texts by combining a point-of-view analysis with primary source readings. Pre-service and practicing teachers will find a solid introduction to the foundations disciplines – history, philosophy, politics, and sociology of education – and their application to educational issues including school organization and teaching, curriculum and pedagogic practices, education and inequality, and school reform and improvement.

This review is from: Exploring Education: An Introduction to the Foundations of Education (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I ordered a book I needed for school, and later found out that I ordered the wrong book. This user helped me out greatly by giving me quick and thorough details of the refund process and overall provided me with excellent service. I had my money back within a couple of days and ended up with the right book a few days after. Would definitely do business with again!

This text is definitely not your run of the mill textbook. It offers insightful discussion and promotes critical debate. I'd recommend it for ANYONE who wants a better understanding of how our educational system got to where it's at now.
