Chomsky on (mis)education - Noam Chomsky, Donaldo Macedo
KORTE INHOUD
Noam Chomsky's prolific writings have made him the most cited educators in history-the only living writer on a most-cited list that includes Plato, Shakespeare, and Freud. Yet until now no book has systematically offered Chomsky's influential writings on education. In this book Noam Chomsky encourages a larger understanding of our educational needs, starting with the changing role of schools today, and broadening our view of new models of public education. A truly democratic society, he argues, cannot thrive in a rapidly changing world unless our approach to education-formal and otherwise-is dramatically reformed. Chomsky's critique of how our current educational system "miseducates" students-and his prescriptions for change-are essential reading for teachers, parents, school administrators, activists, and anyone concerned about the future.
