Title: The American School 1642 - 2000 by Joel Spring ISBN: 0-07-232274-8 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages Pub. Date: 07 July, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $57.90 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Must read
Comment: I'm using this book right now for a required class in educational foundation. It was a little slow to grab me at first, but now that I've gotten into I found it's quite helpful and provides a good base of knowledge for anyone who's either going into teaching or is already in education. I think the people who criticize this book are generally closed-minded and likely not big fans of the public school system, anyway.
Rating: 5
Summary: Required Reading
Comment: Spring's history is comprehensive, thoughtful, and fair. He sees the strengths and weaknesses in our schooling history. I do require this book in my Foundations of Education class and find it invaluable.
Rating: 1
Summary: Revisionist Garbage
Comment: Spring opens Chapter 5 of this book with a paragraph in which he likens President Andrew Jackson to Adolf Hitler. The rest of this book is written in a similar vein. For page after outrageous page, Spring vituperates the evils of the Founding Fathers without a shred of historical perspective. How this book ever made it into print astonishes me. How some universities use this as a text for History of American Education is even more astonishing. Please don't buy this book, even if you are asked to do so.
