Download or read book The Attack on Nova Scotia Schools written by Grant Frost and published by Formac Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nova Scotia's public schools and their students have faced dramatic conflict and drastic change over the past 25 years. While critics charge that schools are failing kids, teachers have been under attack from think tanks and politicians. Parents and citizens have seen power centralized after democratically-elected school boards were abolished. Grant Frost offers an insider's account of these tumultuous years and offers an explanation for the turmoil. Behind the conflict he discovers right-wing think tanks that relentlessly seek to discredit public education and teachers while pushing for changes that would benefit corporations who want willing workers. The think tanks are also promoters of the charter school movement that continues to gain ground in the US and that is promoted as a better option than public schools. Whether it's Nova Scotia's own right-wing think tank or local journalists who readily adopt the cry that our schools are failing, Grant Frost traces the path that he finds has threatened the quality of schooling in Nova Scotia. He sets out the steps for parents, teachers and other citizens to ensure that public education is championed and protected in Nova Scotia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last fifty years, Canada's public schools have been absorbed into a modern education system that functions much like Max Weber's infamous iron cage. Crying out for democratic school-level reform, the system is now a centralized, bureaucratic fortress that, every year, becomes softer on standards for students, less accessible to parents, further out of touch with communities, and surprisingly unresponsive to classroom teachers. Exploring the nature of the Canadian education order in all its dimensions, The State of the System explains how public schools came to be so bureaucratic, confronts the critical issues facing kindergarten to grade 12 public schools in all ten provinces, and addresses the need for systemic reform. Going beyond a diagnosis of the stresses, strains, and ills present in the system, Paul Bennett proposes a bold plan to re-engineer schools on a more human scale as the first step in truly reforming public education. In place of school consolidation and managerialism, one-size-fits-all uniformity, limited school choice, and the "success-for-all" curriculum, Bennett advocates for a new set of priorities: decentralize school governance, deprogram education ministries and school districts, listen to parents and teachers, and revitalize local education democracy. Tackling the thorny issues besetting contemporary school systems in Canada, The State of the System issues a clarion call for more responsive, engaged, and accountable public schools.
Download or read book The Right to Be Rural written by Karen R. Foster and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection, researchers analyze rural societies, economies, and governance in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia through the lens of rights and citizenship, across such varied domains as education, employment, and health. The provocative concept of a “right to be rural” illuminates not only the challenges faced by rural communities worldwide, but also underappreciated facets of community resilience in the face of these challenges. The book’s central question—“is there a right to be rural?”—offers insights into how these communities are created, maintained, and challenged. The authors illustrate that citizenship rights have a spatial character, and that this observation is critical to studying and understanding rural life in the twenty-first century. Scholars and policymakers concerned with the health and well-being of rural communities will be interested in this book.

Download or read book The Politics of Exclusion in Graduate Education written by Roslyn Thomas-Long and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do Canadian graduate students experience institutional funding? The Politics of Exclusion in Graduate Education answers this question by offering an in-depth examination into the nature of institutional funding arrangements from graduate students' standpoint. It explores the students' perspectives on access to funding, and the impact on their learning experience. The focus on graduate students is timely in the ongoing discussion of neoliberal education policies and the resulting commercialization of higher education in Canada. This study links current discussions about the direction of higher education funding and the impact for accessible and inclusive education. How do graduate students negotiate institutional arrangements to accommodate the funding practices they encounter? What does their competition for the scarce resources imply? The Politics of Exclusion in Graduate Education is both a reflection on the current state of the graduate experience, as well as a directive forward to a more inclusive process of allocating resources across graduate faculties and institutions.
