Description
The Schools Our Children Deserve challenges the notion that tougher standards are the key to improving education. Alfie Kohn argues that such approaches can actually have the opposite effect, squeezing the pleasure out of learning.
By examining the impact of traditional classroom settings and standardized testing, Kohn presents a compelling case for a more student-centered approach to education. This thought-provoking book is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in shaping the future of our schools.
Published in 1999, The Schools Our Children Deserve offers a timely and important contribution to the ongoing debate about education policy.
