[From back cover:] "Barrow is provocative; he is insightful; and he is entertaining."      — IAN LISTER, Professor of Education, University of York The Philosophy of Schooling ROBIN BARROW Professor of Education, Simon Fraser University THIS NEW COMPREHENSIVE TEXTBOOK provides a penetrating and lucid introduction to the philosophy of education. It succeeds in making the point and purpose of philosophical analysis absolutely clear and its power as a critical tool manifest. The emphasis on schooling rather than education draws attention to the broad spectrum of the book: recognising that schools generally do much more than educate, Dr. Barrow specifically addresses himself to the larger question of what schools are for and what they should do. While arguing convincingly for a conception of education grounded in breadth of knowledge, Dr. Barrow demonstrates the importance of other functions of schooling such as socialisation, emotional development and vocational preparation. The result is a rare combination: a textbook that really does offer a thorough and deep introduction to philosophy, and which, at the same time, is an imaginatively and strongly argued educational thesis.

The philosophy of schooling
Once upon a time, there had been a girl called Snow White. She was born in the snowing day. So, her mother named her Snow White and her mother hoped her skin could be as white as the white snow. The good time always went so quickly. Snow White's mom died soon. Then, her father had a new queen. The queen was very jealousy of beautiful things, especially beautiful girls. She had a magical mirror. The mirror could tell her who the most beautiful girl was in the world. No matter how many times she tried to ask the question, the queen always got the answer: Snow White was most beautiful girl in the world. So, the queen decided to kill her. She found a hunter and let the hunter bring Snow White into the woods and kill her. The hunter was so nice. He let Snow White run away; he found an animal heart to replace the Snow White's heart and then gave it to the queen. The Snow White started her escaping journey. In the woods she met Seven Dwarfs and started living with them, helping them clean their houses. During this time a lot of interesting things happened. But, when she noticed Snow White was still alive, the queen decided to kill Snow White by herself. So, she pretended to be an old lady selling Snow White the poisonous apples. Snow white died after eating the apples sold by the queen. Then, the seven dwarfs put her into a crystal coffin. The prince kissed Snow White and Snow white woke up.
This is a very classical story with nothing new and attractive. But inside the book are very vivid and colorful pictures. It's really suitable for kids. The whole book picture is basically drawn by cartoons. The pictures are so attractive that the kids can easily go into the story and enjoy reading it.
