Why school? : reclaiming education for all of us
Why School? is a little book driven by big questions. What does it mean to be educated? What is intelligence? How should we think about school, success, and opportunity in a democratic society? Rose draws on forty years of teaching and research to answer these questions. The paperback edition includes brand-new chapters on character education, MOOCs and other technologies, and poverty; a new afterword on how to write about school; and expanded chapters that bring the book into the current moment of Race to the Top and Common Core Standards.--Back cover.
