Papers by Judith L Pace
Lee Jerome and Ben Kisby answer these questions in a bold and brilliant book called "The Rise of Character Education in Britain:
Heroes, Dragons, and the Myths of Character." Focusing specifically on the character education movement in Britain, they dissect its theoretical foundation, explain its ascendancy, analyze its curricula, and examine its results. They make explicit connections to other countries and the United States in particular. The authors construct a compelling argument that character education clashes with education for democracy. They offer an alternative— democratic citizenship education that develops political literacy and agency.
