By Norman Dale Norris
Rezensionen
Norris (education, Nicholls State U.) argues that teachers and educators at all levels are the most mistreated professionals in American society. From the public perceptions of the work they do, the societal role they serve, what is expected of them professionally, how they are compensated, and the fact that expectations are imposed on them that would never be tolerated by comparably educated professionals in the private sector, teachers have gotten the shaft on just about everything. He argues that the vague standards imposed on teachers come from poor planning and bad research and criticizes the efforts of the past 30 years to push state- and nationwide "standards and accountability." Similar criticism is voiced about the movement for standardized tests. Reference and Research Book News [Norman Dale Norris]'s insightful book has much to admire. [He] is an eclectic, learned, passionate educator who cares about teachers...Perspectives on the Mistreatment of American Educators is one of the best books about some of the worst practices of traditional public schools. -- Robert Maranto Ncsc Review
