A9781623961053Paperback / softback. New. What is the purpose of public education What is the value of taxpayer supported public schools Who is invited to answer these questions Except among policymakers few publicly answer or debate these questions. Instead the neoliberal forces of competition and deregulation seem to be driving education decision-making. The formal education system is seen as a tool for personal and national economic growth. Much of the education policy debate is centred on how to attain academic success as measured by standardised high stakes tests and evaluations. But how to educate children and youth is a second order question. The first question must be `what is the purpose of schooling and is it limited to the presumed answer that it is to prepare workers so our nations can sustain economic superiority' Students parents teachers business people artists retirees First Nations people military veteran and religious professionals are not typically invited to answer these questions - despite their stake in educational outcomes. Twenty-four such people including professional educational policy makers and scholars offer their thoughts in these essays from the US and Canada. The intended audience for this volume includes all who are concerned with the future of public schools in both nations. paperback

177015059Paris: Chez Daumont rue St. Martin 1770. Engraving with beautiful early colour. Printed on watermarked laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark on the lower margin. Small tear on upper margin. Small puncture mark on left margin. Image size: 10 1/8 x 16 1/8 inches. This is a beautiful perspective view of the courtyard of the Royal Stock Exchange in London published by a Parisian printseller at the close of the eighteenth century.<br/> <br/> During the eighteenth century "vues d'optique" or "perspective views" became extremely popular in England and Europe. Like other optical prints they capitalized on a connoisseur market eager for the latest novelty. English publishers such as John Bowles and Robert Sayer had great success with these optical views which quickly developed into a collecting craze that swept through print shops on both sides of the Channel. "Vues d'optiques" were specifically designed to create the illusion of perspective when viewed with a zograscope or perspective glass. These viewing devices used a series of reflecting mirrors to enhance the illusion of depth in the print creating a veritable "view" for the onlooker. Typically these prints depicted city or landscape views and were horizontal in format. They had roughly the same dimensions and were sold with heavy opaque colouring so as to show the tints when viewed through the lens. In their heyday optical prints were a technical revolution; they could be seen in almost every fashionable drawing room and were enjoyed by the poorer classes in print shops or at traveling fairs. For a small fee the citizens of Europe and England could travel the world without leaving their village. The "vue d'optique" was the first medium to bring the visible appearance of the wider world to a large European public. Ironically the artists and engravers who created these prints rarely had first hand knowledge of the scenes depicted hence the views were often not as accurate as they were advertised to be. As a result of their constant handling optical prints such as these are rare especially in good condition. They are not only beautiful images but a fascinating glimpse into the history of printmaking.<br/> <br/> Clayton The English Print 1688-1802 140-141. Chez Daumont rue St. Martin unknown
