While generally well intended, the ways in which different educators go about defining social justice, and acting from those definitions, differ greatly. As a result, contradictory efforts emerge under the heading of social justice. With a diversity of meanings comes a diversity of understandings; and while diversity is necessary for a more democratic education, our goal is to help clarify ...

The text confronts the current environment in public education where standardization and accountability are the modus operandi. Quantz challenges the reader to reconsider those spaces within classrooms and schools that can be neither quantified nor commodified by the rational methodologies that dominate current educational discourse. Quantz contends that the problems with education today are not found in a lack of methods or "best practices," but rather, in a lack of an understanding of the cultures and politics of the students, teachers, and communities that are the heart of American schools. In the end, the answers for what troubles education today can be found within the nonrational aspects of those cultural and political spaces that all students and teachers must navigate on a daily basis.
