In this course, students will go behind the curtain of public education. Students will actively engage in making sense of the history, politics, promises and pitfalls of the US education system; a system in which most have participated in for 12+ years. Students will discover multiple and often competing purposes of schooling, examine important developments and trends in education using the latest available data, and consider the value of education in their own lives.
