This compilation of essays on education reform is divided into three parts: Realities, Theory and Practice, each part further sub-divided into its logical sections. Each and every essay is more than a delight to read, and every single one is lined with thoughtful, researched and experienced ideas. The section I liked best was on building a new, genuine, and *relevant* curriculum, which, not surprisingly, also engaged me to re-evaluate my own concepts of what should be worth teaching.

Though these essays were written and compiled in the 60s, it is obvious that many of the ideas in them have still not been administered at large, at least in the United States. Not that what is contained in this text is the golden solution to all of our education problems, but the fact that they do not even come up for debate when discussing education reform today is unfortunate, in the least...and a tragedy in the long-run.

Excellent resource book! Contains excerpts of writing from many of the founders of this movement.
