A New York Times BestsellerIn her groundbreaking history of? 175 years of American
education, Dana Goldstein finds answers in the past to the controversies that plague
our?public schools today.In The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented
history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been
embattled for nearly two centuries. She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button
issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to
improve schools?instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores,
ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting ?elite? graduates to teach?are all
approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change.

the lessons of history to bear on the dilemmas we confront today. By asking ?How did
we get here?? Dana Goldstein brilliantly illuminates the path forward.
