This is exactly the kind of text future teachers need! For too long educators have been given recipes for teaching...they need to learn to think. Unless we consider the socio-cultural influences on education we will continue to perpetuate the status-quo. The title does give an accurate picture of the contents...the book is an introduction to teaching not a methods book. I feel sorry for the student who just didn't get it!!The book does give history and theory... students just need to look at how the information applies to their own situations.

This book turns teaching on it's head. It leads you through the history and foundation of education in this country and contemporary issues such as standarized tests, cirriculum develpoment, race, class, gender, and the value of teachers and their job. The authors ask you, the reader to question, to explore and to disagree with them. It is not an easy book to read,it is challenging and difficult at times, but worth while.
