[Jonathan-David Jackson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book promises to explore the relationship between the child, the parent, and the state. It does not. It says a few vague and quick things about the Soviet Union and the changing world and how we all have to face that and do our part, but really it's treatment of the titular subject takes about 5 or 6 pages total. The rest is just a not very interesting or well-presented account of a few changes in American education between 1905 and 1930 and some talk about the differences between the Soviet and American education systems. I was disappointed by this book; it is not worth your money or your time.

A former university president having his say.
