In her groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education, Dana Goldstein finds answers in the past to the controversies that plague our public schools today.Teaching is a wildly contentious profession in America, one attacked and admired in equal measure. In The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been similarly embattled for nearly two centuries. From the genteel founding of the common schools movement in the nineteenth century to the violent inner-city teacher strikes of the 1960s and '70s, from the dispatching of Northeastern women to frontier schoolhouses to the founding of Teach for America on the Princeton University campus in 1989, Goldstein shows that the same issues have continued to bedevil us: Who should teach? What should be taught? Who should be held accountable for how our children learn?    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. And she also discovers an emerging effort that stands a real chance of transforming our schools for the better: drawing on the best practices of the three million public school teachers we already have in order to improve learning throughout our nation’s classrooms.   The Teacher Wars upends the conversation about American education by bringing the lessons of history to bear on the dilemmas we confront today. By asking “How did we get here?” Dana Goldstein brilliantly illuminates the path forward.

As Ms. Goldstein accurately states, the continual battles erupting around teachers and schools is a manifestation of moral panic. Our Maine rockhead governor has been fanning these flames of angst by painting our state's schools as broken, corrupt, and littered with terrible teachers. He's a big advocate of charter and for-profit online schools. Ms. Goldstein's 'The Teacher Wars' might do him and anyone else some good who are interested in understanding the historical and present-day terrain of educating our country's young citizens. I doubt the governor would make the effort in reading the author's absorbing, well-written, and educational book, because he seems to have the critical-thinking skills of a bubble fart.For about a year, I was a substitute teacher who was justifiably fired for dropping the F-bomb in a 8th-grade class. A substitute teacher is nowhere near as challenging as being an actual teacher. You are left instructions by the absent teacher for that day. It's kind of a glorified babysitter job. I'm in awe of full-time teachers' commitment to their jobs. Ms. Goldstein's book demonstrates how they are not simply cogs in a machine. 'The Teacher Wars' covers such topics as the creation of unions and tenure, the controversies over IQ tests, going on teacher witch-hunts due to populace jingoism, school desegregation, bureaucratic inertia, community control vs union control, the highly influential federal report 'Nation at Risk', standardized testing, No Child Left Behind, value-added measurement, charter schools, merit pay, high-stakes testing, and teacher-evaluation schemes. It also addressed the broader problems outside the realm of teacher control such as income, wealth, and racial inequalities.The ultimate goal is to help students become self-directed learners. Ms. Goldstein does a great job highlighting teaching's history, then addresses many of the issues being bandied about in today's environment. Her Epilogue, which are suggestions on some steps we should take to improve education, is the cherry on top of a fantastic book. Someone give her an apple.
