Riassunto:

A very readable book that includes dozens of excerpts from novels, biographies, memoirs, lectures, essays, plays, poetry, and songs, this anthology provides readers with a broad range of opinions, scenarios, and perspectives on education. It examines diversity beyond race, religion, and ethnicity, and addresses a wide range of topics and issues, especially controversial events, movements, and mandates. Interviews, dramatizations, and debates help subjects come alive, making the selections more meaningful.The selections are divided into six important themes: history, philosophy, politics and sociology of education, the nature of schools, and the teaching profession. Each section begins with an illustration from a Norman Rockwell painting, helping readers visualize that theme. An obvious choice for educators, this book is also an excellent read for anyone interested in the social and historical trends in education.

Recensione:

"The author's contributions to the text―introductions, questions―are excellent. They are well-written and accurate. The discussion and research suggestions are especially effective." ― Rick A. Breault, University of Indianapolis

"All of the selections. . .will generate student interest and are particularly oriented toward encouraging student discussion and reflection." ― Judy Arnold, Lincoln Memorial University

"The author provides excellent preparatory remarks at the front of each selection... [that] aid in their general orientation and expectations. I was very pleased with Chartock's commentaries on the selections as well as her chapter overviews. The 'set-ups' for the selections were thought-provoking and reflective... I approve of the literary approach to educational foundations developed by Chartock." ― Martin Eigenberger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside
