Great book for teachers

This book is an eye opener! There is no other work I had read as fascinating as this one, it will allow you to see the school world under a new perspective, if you are looking for a dissertation topic or ideas this book will put your mind to work. Although it does not emphasize critical pedagogy, the way Peter deals with the idea of ritual performance in schools is critical itself. A must have for nay critical teacher.
