Unequal By Design checks critically for high-risk tests to highlight what is really at stake for students, teachers, and communities negatively affected by such a test. This well-studied analysis traces the standard test assets in the eugenics and social life movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries through its current use as an essential tool for national educational reform by "not leaving a child".
By exploring the historical, social, economic, and educational aspects of the test, author Wayne Owe explains that these tests are not only based on inequality, but are inextricably intertwined with social inequality outside schools.
