Do brief argument outlines for each of the readings. Look at the large number of claims made in ANR. Select several of those claims and summarize the evidence presented to support them. What major claim does the report make about schooling in the US? What evidence does it give? What does the report say was happening in US society and in the US economy in the years leading up to the report? What does the report say was happening in the global economy? How does the report relate what it claims was happening in the schools to what it says was happening in the economy? What role does the report say or imply that teachers, students, and parents play in the portrait of failure it paints? Given what weve learned in this course, do you think the reports claims are credible? Remind yourself what Mike Rose said about reports on education. Think about how ANR might be related to the changes in the political economy and dominant ideologies discussed in last weeks readings, particularly the piece by Kantor & Lowe. You may want to go online to learn more about the political economy during the 1970s and 1980s
