Awakening Young Minds

by Denise Nessel

Overview

Awakening Young Minds is really about awakening the minds of any of us interested in reforming education. The provocative and responsible essays in this volume, written by some of the intellectual giants of the last two centuries, raise some enticing issues: myths of education, schools interfering with education, and what's worth knowing, just to name a few. This is an important book for serious students of education, be they professional educators or simply concerned citizens in a democratic society.
--W. Dorsey Hammond, Professor, School of Education and Human Services, Oakland University (Michigan)
