Democracy, Chaos, and the New School Order

By Spencer J. Maxcy

Book Overview

The author of this innovative book develops the thesis that educational reform in its current state is incomplete and ill-suited to democratic nations. Maxcy argues that ′decentralization′ philosophies could seriously damage schools and children. He advocates a comprehensive ′new school order′ to suit the changing features of postmodern culture. Key themes in this text include: poststructuralist versus structuralist assumptions; and order versus chaos in popular reform movements.

Democracy, Chaos and the New School Order should become a landmark in postmodern approaches to education.
