FINAL EXAM:
A Study of the Perpetual Scrutiny of American Education
By Gerald W. Bracey, AIT Distinguished Fellow
The Agency's Distinguished Fellows Program was successfully launched in 1994 with the appointment of noted research psychologist, education consultant, and writer Gerald W. Bracey, Ph.D., as the first AIT Distinguished Fellow.
Released in October 1995, Bracey's book "FINAL EXAM: A Study of the Perpetual Scrutiny of American Education" provides a history of standards, outcomes, assessment, and criticism of U.S. public schools, with commentary on two predominant philosophies of learning in this country: that of Thomas Jefferson's "aristocracy of worth and genius" and that of "all children can learn."
"A very valuable contribution to the scene because of its scholarship and its honesty… Engaging… Gripping… Lively."
— Archie Lapointe, Executive Director,
Center for the Assessment of Educational Progress
"…research-based, systematic defense of public education…"
—William J. Leary
The School Administrator
"…a definitive historical study of U.S. education that should be on everyone's reading list."
