The school and society; and, The child and the curriculum Book

This was really, really good and I would recommend it to anyone who teaches at any level. Some previous reader of the library copy had written 'YES!' in the margins next to all the best passages, and I very much agree. Also just leaving a note for myself to come back to the chapter about how the different phases of the educational system came into being, because I thought that was a VERY useful way of understanding why the different grade levels, including the university, don't seem to be good at communicating with each other (short version: they emerged at different points of history in different places, had different values, and were designed to serve different purposes). Also note to self to type up quotes from it before I return the library copy!
