Overview
- Raging against the Mass Schooling Machine is a compelling ‘autoethnographic’ account of one beginning teacher’s struggle to transform his future teaching identity by unpacking the bruising encounters that shaped him as a student
- To resist the mind-numbing orthodoxies of the mass-schooling machine, beginning teachers need to interrogate the theories and practices that have shaped them as teachers, question the lies and illusions that dominate the profession, and learn to ‘teach against the grain’ using a strategic blend of pragmatic and radical approaches
- There are few if any books written from the beginning teacher’s point-of-view about the challenge of entering such a highly regulated and habituated profession: in fact, there are few books about beginning teaching by beginning teachers full stop
