Product Description:
Rita Kramer’s extraordinary ethnography of schools of education opens one’s eyes to many things, including the degree to which equality has driven out achievement in the ideals and practices taught to future teachers. All those concerned about what our children will learn and what tomorrow’s adults will know should read this book.”
—James S. Coleman, Professor of Sociology and Education, University of Chicago

If you ever wanted a justification for home schooling and vouchers you will find it here. We college professors perpetually discuss the poor preparation of US students. Without foreign graduate students this nation would be a basket case. Little did we know that we were the problem. Fortunately left wing ideology has minimal impact on most college graduates once they get a job, so most teachers are not sympathetic to what they got crammed down their throats in Ed School. Nevertheless, Union ... Read More

Just to set the record straight, the only sensationalism in Rita Kramer's book is her title. Otherwise, it's formal reporting of the kind you would read in Time. She traveled to lots of schools, attended lots of classes, conducted lots of interviews. She's quite professional and even deferential.
The problem for educators is the picture that emerges. If you know nothing about American education, you might be stunned to find that ed schools are places where academic content is rarely ... Read More

Other books tell about the bizarre premises, concepts and methods in schools today. But where on earth do these ideas come from? And why do administrators and teachers believe this stuff? The short answer is: ed schools. Rather than being a model of scholarship, today's ed schools waste away time with endless prattle about theories and philosophies. Rita Kramer toured the country, spending a good deal of time at each of a number of ed schools. She visited prestigious eastern schools, mainstream ... Read More

I enjoyed reading Rita Kramer's first-hand account of what our future teachers are learning. Although she is not dispassionate, she is absolutely well-informed about the travesty that passes for "education" in the "ed schools." Future teachers are indoctrinated, not educated, and that is the major reason for most of our problems in education today. If you care about improving schools, and if you are worried about your own child's education, READ THIS BOOK!

Welcome to the place where torturers are trained and weeded out!This book is first step in finding an answer to the pathetic state of today's educational system. What are teachers taught? What is the criteria for determining a good teacher from a bad teacher? Or do they even try? Who decides this, and how? Ms. Kramer gives you the raw data to answer these questions yourself. The reader sits in on Teacher Ed classrooms with Ms. Kramer from the east coast to the west coast. You stop at the elite ... Read More
