Description: In Assault on Kids and Teachers, educators from across the United States push back against the neoliberal school reform movements that are taking the "public" out of public education, demonizing teachers, and stealing from youth the opportunity for an equitable, just, and holistic education.

Review Quotes: "Corporate education reformers have come for public education, punishing us with high-stakes testing, attacking teachers and communities, and profiteering through charter schools and other free market models. Assault on Kids and Teachers give us tools to not only fight back against this corporate juggernaut, but also the vision to look forward with hope and the power to make things better. A critically important book that could not have come at a better time, Assault on Kids and Teachers should be read by anyone interested in the struggle over the soul of schooling and educational democracy in the United States."-Wayne Au, Editor, Rethinking Schools; Professor, School of Educational Studies, University of Washington Bothell
