The article that i chose to evaluate for the assignment was Politics in education. The reason that i chose this was to get a sense of the influence that politics actually have in education. To begin with it seems as if there are two separate kinds of politics in education. There are micro and macro-politics. "Macro-politics refers to how power is used and decision making is conducted at district, state, and federal levels. " (Politics in education) "The term micro-politics refers to the use of formal and informal power by individuals and groups to achieve their goals in organizations. ( Politics in education) These are the two main roles in the schools that are run by politics. Each one of these plays their own part in taking power they just use it differently. Both forms take that power and they use it at all levels of the schooling system. Normally you see it outside of the schools but you may see it being used in the actual schools from time to time.
