Download Saving Schools: From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning AudioBook Free
Saving Classes traces the story of the rise, drop, and potential resurrection of American general population schools through the lives and ideas of six mission-driven reformers: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Shanker, William Bennett, and James Coleman. Yet schools did not become the reliable, egalitarian, and high-quality educational companies these reformers envisioned. Indeed, the unintended results of these legacies molded today's flawed educational system, where politics control of stagnant American schools has shifted away from families and areas to greater, more centralized entities - primarily to bigger districts and finally to regulate by areas, courts, and the federal government. Peterson's tales help explain how country building, progressive education, the civil protection under the law motion, unionization, legalization, special education, bilingual teaching, accountability, vouchers, charters, and homeschooling have, each in different ways, set the level for a new time in American education. Now, under the impact of rising cost, coupled with the options unleashed by technological innovation, schooling may be transformed through virtual learning. The effect could be a personalized, personalized system of education where families have better choice and control over their children's education than anytime since our country was founded. The publication is released by Harvard School Press.
