The Blame Game: 100 Years of Teacher Bashing – Have You Heard

The Blame Game: 100 Years of Teacher Bashing


Blaming teachers for the woes of US public schools and beyond is as old a pastime as public education itself. Historian Diana D’Amico Pawlewicz takes us through 100 years of teacher blaming and the love-hate relationship the US has with its teachers. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll want to pre-order her book, Blaming Teachers: Professionalization Policies and the Failure of Reform in American History.
