Meritocratic education and social worthlessness
Lampert, Khen.

Meritocratic education and social worthlessness[electronic resource] /Khen Lampert. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource.

1. Introduction -- 2. Belling the Ring -- 3. Worthlessness as Social Ideology -- 4. The Answer of Meritocracy -- 5. The Folly of Excellence -- 6. The Loss of Responsibility -- 7. The Problem of Worthlessness -- 8. The Difficulty of an Alternative.

This book critically examines the socio-cultural role of achievement within education, arguing that the increasingly global demand for measurable standards of academic achievement is an expression of political ideology and the aggressive, competitive reality of a neo-capitalist schooling system. The book explores how this burgeoning demand in education systems contrasts with the very foundations of education and educational common-sense, which should value achievement as a basis for developing a positive sense of worth for all students and for nurturing their potential. Instead, these systems are structured by consumerism, exploitation and marginalization, breeding a social-Darwinian atmosphere within school environments that results in many students feeling socially worthless and as though they have under-achieved.
