Standardized Childhood - Fuller, Bruce

. .

Résumé :
Guaranteed to raise the hackles of some, while applauded by others, Standardized Childhood is fascinating reading. Brilliantly argued, this is the definitive word on universal preschool. -- Susan B. Neuman, Former Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education and Professor of Educational Studies, University of Michigan
Standardized Childhood takes on one of the most important and least-understood issues of our day: does preschool do any good, and can we, or should we, make it available to every child? Vivid, clear, and provocative, full of firsthand reporting from states and cities that are experimenting with universal preschool, this is the most complete and interesting treatment of this issue I have ever seen. It tells a story, rather than disgorging another load of academic jargon. Everyone who talks about preschool is henceforth going to have to quote from Fuller's book. -- Jay Mathews, Washington Post
