Interesting book, you can sense that he was a proponent for psychoanalysis therapy. Nonetheless this is a very interesting book, looking at the shortcoming of the education system from a secular point of view.
Here were some very accurate quotes
“ the plain fact is that educational theory does not meet the expectations people set on it”
“The possibility looks that educational theory may prevent the very future it promises”
“Education is one of the activities that remains least affected by the process of rationalisation”
“ only the measurable achievement counts and is paid for”
“Educational theory is so constructed as to make it incapable of providing objective criteria by which the alleged effectiveness of any educational measure can be determined”
