The Lie We Call School is a systemic critique of modern education through the lens of Black educational experience. Because when you want to understand how a machine is failing, you study the people it fails most visibly, most consistently, and most completely.

Former secondary headteacher and education consultant Neil Mayers has spent over twenty years in classrooms in London and Atlanta, Georgia, watching the same school system produce the same outcomes for the same children. In this book, he traces the failure back to its source. Not to underfunding. Not to bad teachers. Not to absent fathers or disengaged communities. To the design itself.
