teaganpotter's review against another edition
3.0
Although used as a textbook for my International Education class, I found the writing and content to be intriguing. That being said, however, I felt as if the authors had a very specific goal in mind when they began to write this book and the evidence that they collected did not support this goal. Usually, this is fine, as in most good research projects, the goal changes and morphs to form a more educated thesis. However, I feel as if the authors did not really morph their goal. In addition, there were a few preschools that they said did not represent the country very well. If that is the case of an ethnography, why would they continue to use these schools as prime examples? I question the information I am receiving from this book only because it is extremely subjective. I will have to watch the film to see if my opinion is changed at all, but then again, even that is cut so the authors can just show what they want to show. The whole book seemed a bit iffy to me.
