Bad Teacher! How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture by Kevin K. Kumashiro

5.0

This book was everything I hoped it would be. Kumashiro tackles big questions of what's behind current educational reform initiatives. He is a tireless advocate for "a truly democratic society and a truly educative school system". As the title promises, he unravels the current trend of blaming teachers for everything, as well as the current trend of "less preparation makes better teachers" or quick routes to alternative teacher certification instead of traditional teacher education university-based programs. I recently bought 3 of his books and will soon be reading more.
