It places the onus on educators and on wider society to come up with better alternatives. The book is well researched, concise, to the point and extremely relevant to educators, caregivers and school system administrators everywhere.’ – Alex Lautensach, University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. 0aEducational tests and measurements.970532 0aEducationxPhilosophy.960756 0aPhilosophy of mind. 0aSchools.95949414aAssessment and Testing.97053324aPhilosophy of Education.97014624aPhilosophy of Mind.24aSchool and Schooling.97053424aEducational Philosophy.9688562 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303147020208iPrinted edition:z978303147022640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-47021-9  aZDB-2-EDA  aZDB-2-SXED  c57468d57468
