Chomsky on Mis-Education

Noam Chomsky's writings have made him one of the most-quoted educators in history. Until now, no book has systematically offered his influential thoughts on education. In "Chomsky on Mis-Education", he encourages a larger understanding of our educational needs, starting with the changing role of schools today and broadening our view of new models of public education. Chomsky weaves together global technological change and the primacy of responsible media with the democratic role of schools and higher education. He argues that a truly democratic society cannot thrive in a rapidly changing world unless our approach to education is dramatically reformed. This book offers Chomsky's critique of how our current educational system "miseducates" students, as well as his prescriptions for change. Essential reading for teachers, parents, school administrators, activists, and anyone concerned about the future, "Chomsky on Mis-Education" provides valuable insights into the need for reform in education.
