Amid a sea of official reports, policy documents and 'expert' opinions on education, however, the voices of actual classroom teachers were difficult to find. This omission is redressed in Lindsay Kerr'sBetween Caring & Counting. Through a focus group of present-day secondary school teachers in Toronto, Kerr delivers a passionate account of the unassailably negative changes affecting secondary education and teachers' work.From a critical feminist perspective and using institutional ethnography, Kerr situates the problem in education squarely as a conflict between an 'accounting logic' and 'an ethic of care at the centre of education practice.' She exposes paradoxes inherent in education reform such as the increase of government control at the same time that government funding for education decreases. She also connects educational restructuring to changes in the power relations of gender, class and race across the public education system. These local changes, she finds, do not reflect sound pedagogy but the imperatives of neoliberal globalization. Counteracting despair with hope, Kerr explores self-reflexive suggestions for teacher-educators to exercise agency in their lives and to continue to work toward a just and equitable public education system. 606 $aEducation and state$zOntario 606 $aEducational change$zOntario 606 $aTeachers$zOntario 606 $aPublic schools$zOntario 606 $aEducation and globalization$zOntario 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducational change 615 0$aTeachers 615 0$aPublic schools 615 0$aEducation and globalization 676 $a370.9713 700 $aKerr$b Lindsay$f1951-$0973875 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467035003321 996 $aBetween caring & counting$92216438 997 $aUNINA
