Working Class - Poverty, Education and Alternative VoicesPaperback
One of the most intractable problems in modern education is how to close the widening gap in attainment between the haves and the have-nots. Their thought-provoking commentary, ideas and impassioned anecdotal insights are presented in the form of essays, think pieces and poems that draw together a wealth of research on the issue and probe Unfortunately, successive governments both in the UK and abroad have gone about solving it the wrong way.Independent Thinking founder Ian Gilbert's increasing frustration with educational policies that favour 'no excuses' and 'compliance', and that ignore the broader issues of poverty and inequality, is shared by many others across the sphere of education - and this widespread disaffection has led to the assembly of a diverse cast of teachers, school leaders, academics and poets who unite in this book to challenge the status quo.
