It is common knowledge that our educational system is in dire straights. Children graduate high school without knowing how to read, while students are driven to violence by the brutal social climate of school. In Instead of Education John Holt gives practical, innovative ideas for changing that. He suggests creative ways to take advantage of underused facilities we already have. Reading this brilliant educator revolutionizes thinking about what schooling is for and what we can do to accomplish its true goals.
