"This book is about how modern American childhood is shaped by the bureaucratic tools
including mass testing, child psychology, and the status hiearchies. This happens
in a world where there is an emotional attachment to children in which no child can
be left behind, even as the bureaucracies pragmatically sort through individuals of
differing abilities. The result is childhoods shaped to meet competing American ideals
for individualism, egalitarianism, and utililitarianism. The result is a conservative
bureaucratic dance which resembles a game of rochambo, as individualism is trumped
by egalitarianism, utilitarianism by individualism, and utilitarianism by egalitarianism"--
