Publisher's Synopsis

This collection of original essays examines the complex relationship between schooling and society. By taking a critical approach, the text urges readers to formulate difficult questions about the practice of teaching and the experience of schooling. The text also illustrates the multiple forces that come into play for both educators and for students, and challenges the reductive and pragmatic approach adopted in conventional education courses.
