Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on Track
This book really got me into the Ackoff philosophy of life. I'm going to be reading all of his books and articles that I can find. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet the man. This book also introduces many of the concepts of the Sudbury Valley school which read me to reading Neill's Summerhill. This book will make you question how we survived traditional K-12 with our souls intact, and what we can do for future generations.
