Concepts and issues in school choice
I feel like not that many people know about Paul Goodman, and he's a voice worth checking out if you're interested in how to improve the American education system. He argues for a strictly voluntary education as Jefferson imagined it, and decries the influence of administration and the "administrative mentality" on teaching and learning. "It is impossible to consider our universities in America," he writes, "without being powerfully persuaded of the principle of anarchy, that the most useful arrangement is free association and federation rather than top-down management and administration" (163). Throughout, he refers to the medieval university (studium generale) as a model for postsecondary education, suggesting that small "bands of scholars. . . secede [from large universities] and set up where they can teach and learn on their own simple conditions" (324). Good stuff.
