 One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards

Author: Susan Ohanian  One Size Fits Few is a sharp, pointed pin with which to deflate the overblown pro-Standards movement. In her hilarious, unsparing, and often touching narrative, Susan Ohanian-a teacher, author, and frequent contributor to the Atlantic, Education Week, and other publications-recounts her quest to make sense of the Standards movement. Making sense is no small feat, as we see when Ohanian muses on school districts withholding diplomas from students who fail to demonstrate necessary knowledge of topics such as covalent bonds, the Edict of Nantes, La Cucaracha, and the Slough of Despond.
