Good book, if you are interested in educational philosophies. Author provides good background material, definition, and history of each philosophy, along with a sampling of the predominate thinker in those areas.

Dryly written but extremely informative.

This was basically a review of my undergraduate liberal arts degree with the added educational specialization. I would have enjoyed the reading of it more if only I hadn’t gotten overwhelmed and overbalanced by unexpectedly been required to take two on-line classes instead of one at a time as originally indicated. That and, oh yeah, full time teaching. Still the reading was interesting.
