- Summary
- Kohn, an education writer and lecturer, collects 19 of his recent essays (published from 2004-2010) that provide a progressive perspective on education questions. He argues against uniform standards, the use of rubrics for evaluating individual assignments, and using competitiveness in a global economy as an excuse for education policies. He discusses what progressive education is, its values, and what distinguishes it; student cheating and other micro-level issues; how to motivate student interest in reading and writing; school safety; problems with signs considered to be inspiring in classrooms; issues with current education reform; and psychological and parenting issues, including self-discipline.
