The Unwritten Curriculum: Things Learned But Not Taught in School

by Arthur Blumberg

This highly readable volume highlights the kind of lasting impressions teachers can unwittingly have on their students. While teachers are primarily concerned with the formal curriculum, students tend to remember most those lessons learned from informal encounters with teachers, principals and other students, which form part of the ′unwritten curriculum′ of school life. The authors record the memorable experiences - some funny, some traumatic - of a group of people from college age to over 70. Their stories describe important lessons including those about caring, the abuse of authority and being treated unjustly.
