The result is a ready reckoner of the myths that form the overall illusion of modern schooling. His forensic exposition of these myths, provides a genuine opportunity for the reform of both teacher education and of schooling itself. I hope people take up Tait's counsel.' Roger Slee, School of Education, University of South Australia Advance praise: 'This book is a really great resource for undergraduates studying sociology of education. Presenting myths and then debunking them in a clear and accessible writing style is exactly what many students need to develop a more sociological understanding of a phenomenon that they often take for granted.'
