| In this book, Alfie Kohn raises provocative questions about the status quo in this collection of incisive essays -- challenging us to reconsider some of our most basic assumptions about children and education. Whether he is explaining why cooperative learning can be so threatening or why detracking is so fiercely opposed, Kohn offers a fresh, informed perspective on the major issues in education. |
