The Values of American Teachers: How Teachers' Values Help Stabilize Unsteady Democracy

by Robert Slater

Book Overview

Teachers help steady modern democracy by teaching children the limits of liberty and by cultivating the social virtues -- trust, cooperation, helpfulness, and the like -- upon which civil society depends. We need not only to recognize this but also to avoid education policies that undermine their willingness and ability to do so.
