NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? A groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education that brings the lessons of the past to bear on the dilemmas we face today-and brilliantly illuminates the path forward for public schools.?[A] lively account." -New York Times Book ReviewIn The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been embattled for nearly two centuries. She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to improve schools-instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores, ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting ?elite? graduates to teach-are all approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change.
