Rethinking learning in schools.
This is a wonderful book. As I have worked at developing a charter school in my area to create a less oppressive atmosphere for my children's learning, this book has helped me crystalize my thinking about learning in school. It advocates an organic, realistic, and less patriarchal approach to being a teacher in a public school. It accurately describes the pitfalls of trying something different and more humane in teaching, while recognizing the difficulties inherent in changing the educational system. A true, MUST READ for teachers, parents, school board members, administrators, and students.
