By contextualizing schooling within its broader social framework, the author sheds light on numerous underlying reasons behind the troubled state of our secondary schools. It is believed that our mistake has been to conflate education, in its truest sense, with schooling. In conclusion, the author offers a valuable account of innovative educational ideas being tested in various locations such as Countesthorpe, Wyndham, the Parkway Program in Philadelphia, and the Open University. This book is an essential read for schoolteachers and education enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032202785\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"W.
