| Class Dismissed: Why We Cannot Teach or Learn Our Way Out of Inequality Subjects: Children with social disabilities -- Education -- United States; Education -- Economic aspects -- United States; Critical pedagogy -- United States; Equality -- United States; In Class Dismissed, John Marsh debunks a myth cherished by journalists, politicians, and economists: that growing poverty and inequality in the United States can be solved through education. Using sophisticated analysis combined with personal experience in the classroom, Marsh not only shows that education has little impact on poverty and inequality, but that our mistaken beliefs actively shape the way we structure our schools and what we teach in them. |
