__**Technology and Education Reform**__ [|Apple]In his book, Cultural Politics & Education, Apple gave a systematic review of //__the "moral" crisis of the U.S. economy and of its implications for schooling and the schools. The "moral" crisis consists in an increasing gap between rich and poor, between "people of color" and Euro- Americans. It consists in a growing level of child poverty ("one out of every four children under the age of six" lives in poverty, p. 74), which puts the U.S. behind other major industrialized countries, including Great Britain. It includes other dimensions as well, such as the growing rate of incarceration for Black and Latino men, or the growth of low-paying, repetitive work.__// He further states, that the guiding set of principles for a significant portion of the conservative restoration is to increase profits by raising productivity, cutting costs, weakening the collective organizations of paid works, & discipling workers through a fear of unemployment. Given the need of capital for the paid labor of women, the right could not pursue a policy of merely returning women to family and domestic labor. It had to aggressively integrate women into the paid labor market. Please feel free to comment on your point-of-view of the conservative restoration’s guiding set of principles. What are your opinions? Fellow Curators: In addition, any thoughts on any one of the six (6) questions listed below?

Apple’s Book Review & Six (6) Questions that need to be answered: 1.  “Whose Knowledge is Being Taught & Why? Sondra, it will be very interesting for me, and perhaps, two other students to hear you talk about this book, since we are reading another book by Michael Apple in Dr. Crumpler's class at the moment. It is titled "Ideology and Curriculum," and I imagine that it has many points in commom with the book that you are presenting (I am inferring from what you wrote here). He talks a lot about the structures of power that influence what and how is taught in our schools, and the fact that schools    reflect and teach the prevailing ideology and cultural norms of the society. - <span style="color: rgb(23, 18, 222);">Iryna <span style="color: rgb(23, 18, 222);"> 2. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> “What is the Relationship Between Culture & Power in Education?” 3. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> “Who Benefits from this Relationship”? 4. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> "How does the ‘Right’ get formed?“ 5. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> “Does a National curriculum make sense?”  6. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> “Where should those of us who count ourselves a part of the long progressive tradition in education stand in relationship to the call for a national curriculum?”
