Imagine Where Do We Come from? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Be Realistic A Few Essential Additions
Summary: How do we see our schools and the project of education? Is this the best we can do? What would we like our schools to become? How might we get there? In this provocative book, Bill Ayers invites us to dream of schools in which each child is of infinite and incalculable value. Blending personal anecdotes with critique of the state of education, this beautifully written little book is filled with big ideas that explore the challenges and opportunities for an education system that desperately needs repair. Teaching with Conscience in an Imperfect World is an urgent call to action and a plan to help educators, policymakers, and parents to stretch toward something new and dramatically better schools that are more joyful and more just, more balanced and more guided by the power of love.
