The readings, which represent the arguments of leading educators and social commentators, reflect opposing positions and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. For each issue, the editor provides a concise introduction and postscript summary. The introduction sets the stage for the debate as it is argued in the "yes" and "no" readings. The postscript briefly reviews the opposing opinions and suggests additional readings on the controversial issue under discussion.-Back cover. 000452639 650_0 $$aEducation$$xAims and objectives$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aEducation$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aEducational accountability$$xGovernment policy$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aSchool violence$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aIntelligent design (Teleology)$$xStudy and teaching$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aHome schooling$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 000452639 650_0 $$aComputers and children. 000452639 650_0 $$aDebates and debating. 000452639 7001_ $$aNoll, James Wm.$$q(James William),$$d1932- 000452639 830_0 $$aMcGraw-Hill contemporary learning series. 000452639 830_0 $$aTaking sides. 000452639 85200 $$bgen$$hLA217.2$$i.T35$$i2008 000452639 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452639$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452639 980__ $$aBIB 000452639 980__ $$aBOOK
