Title: Incredibly Impressed With This Book
Review: I'm doing a very broad independent study project about education, focusing a bit on educational inequity and methods of assessment.This book has so far been incredible, and wonderfully useful. I'm not quite finished with it yet, but it will tell you a lot about the state of education in the past compared to now and, more importantly, competing theories of education/mind that gave birth to what we have today. It will show you how the testing regime came to be, the passionate ideals that directed it, and how the ideals compare to what it actually accomplishes.If you want to understand the nature of things like the College Board, merit scholarships, the SAT, and other common things/institutions that affect us significantly but are taken for granted, as well as the history of higher education as a whole, this book will give you a nice background. The author quotes a wide array of interesting primary sources and breathes life to all of those involved.
