This is a MUST READ for anyone who is genuinely interested in the thinking and impact of educational philosophy. The important choices we make as a society as we educate our children have immeasurable effect on our future. Caroline Pratt was ahead of her time. She calls for an education of children that leads to critical, original and independent thinking - rather than training kids to be passive receivers of meaningless information. We need the progressive movement to re-start and move into the mainstream now more than ever.
Truly a book for those who care about children.
