Overview: It’s one thing we all have in common. We’ve all been to school.But as Zander Sherman shows in this fascinating, often shocking account of institutionalized education, sending your kids off to school was not always normal. In fact, school is a very recent invention.Taking the reader back to 19th-century Prussia, where generals, worried about soldiers’ troubling individuality, sought a way to standardize every young man of military age, through to the most controversial debates that swirl around the world about the topic of education today, Sherman tells the often astonishing stories of the men and women—and corporations—that have defined what we have come to think of as both the privilege and the responsibility of being educated.Along the way, we discover that the SAT was invented as an intelligence test designed to allow the state to sterilize “imbeciles,” that suicide in the wake of disappointing results in the state university placement exams is the fifth leading cause of death in China, and that commercialized higher education seduces students into debt as cynically as credit card companies do.Provocative, entertaining—and even educational—The Curiosity of School lays bare the forces that shape the institution that shapes all of us.
