Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This current, comprehensive history of American education is designed to stimulate critical analysis and critical thinking by offering alternative interpretations of each historical period. In his signature straightforward, concise style, Joel Spring provides a variety of interpretations of American schooling, from conservative to leftist, in order to spark the readers own critical thinking about history and schools. This tenth edition follows the history of American education from the seventeenth century to the integration into global capitalism of the twentyfirst century to the tumultuous current political landscape. In particular, the updates focus on tracing the direct religious links between the colonial Puritans and the currentday Trump administration. Chapters 1 and 2 have been rewritten to take a closer look at religious traditions in American schools, leading up to the educational ideas of the current U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. An updated Chapter 15 further links traditional religious fundamentalist ideas and the twentieth century free market arguments of the Chicago school of economists to President Trumps administration and the influence of the AltRight.
