In this book, the author argues that what we are teaching and how we are teaching it in this country is focused, not on the student, but on the process - a process that is nearly 400 years old and entirely inappropriate for the 21st century and beyond. He charges that the educational hierarchy in America is motivated not by true educational excellence, and the development of happy, successful adults, but the inculcation of a narrow set of skills deemed useful to our increasingly powerful corporatocracy. Finally, the author offers not just a scathing critique but a number of suggestions of what needs to be fixed, what needs to be changed, and what needs to be completely discarded. In the end, he presents some uniquely radical ideas and models for what American schools should look like - some totally different from anything youve ever experienced or are likely to have even imagined.
