Table of ContentsReviewsIn Fear and Learning in America , John Kuhn weaves together stories from his life as a teacher and missionary with tales from history. The result is a fresh way of thinking about schools and educational policy. Refuting A Nation at Risk , Mr. Kuhn warns, persuasively, of 'a rising tide of inequality.' His message, artfully delivered in this important book, should be heeded. - John Merrow, education correspondent, PBS NewsHour, and president, Learning Matters, Inc. Kuhn is a superb educator and his valuable book effectively dissects the myths about today's high-stakes testing environment and the worsening conditions under which educators are expected to make miracles every day, or else. His cogent arguments against such policies demonstrate what is really important and should inform the debate about public education. - Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers. Author InformationJohn Kuhn is a public school administrator in Texas and a vocal advocate for public education. His “Alamo Letter” and YouTube videos of his 2011 speech at a Save Texas Schools rally went viral, as did his 2012 essay, “The Exhaustion of the American Teacher.” Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
