John L. Rury is a professor emeritus of education at the University of Kansas. He is the author of many publications, including Creating the Suburban School Advantage: Race, Localism and Inequality in an American Metropolis.
"""In chronicling a half-century of accountability and standardized testing, John Rury shines a bright and balanced light on the continuing tensions between political aspirations and the realities of U.S. schools and students. This book is recommended reading for all who have asked: 'How did accountability policies come to dominate American education, and why have they persisted for so long?'"" -- Lorraine McDonnell * author of Politics, Persuasion, and Educational Testing * ""No other policy has shaped U.S. education in recent decades as much as test-based accountability. Rury provides a thorough and insightful discussion of the evolution of testing and accountability policies, the controversies surrounding them, and their disappointing effects."" -- Daniel Koretz * author of Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us * ""This book is an essential, thorough, and objective study of standardized testing as used in American schools over the past 50 years. It is another impressive contribution from John Rury."" -- Maris Vinovskis * Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor *"
