In an effort to expose the devastating connections between educational reform, a high-stakes standardized testing, the corporate privatization of public education, and an increasing social and cultural separation inside our nation's public school system, Ciedie Aech offers a true-life account of how the educational policies instigated by No Child Left Behind and Race To The Top have served to interrupt, disrupt and ultimately segregate our nation's poorest schools. Ciedie's stories explore how our relentless focus upon testing has created a countrywide meritocracy where the humiliating label of failure can now be utilized as the means to both encourage a school-to-prison pipeline and thwart an educational justice.
