RE: Why much of our schooling is oppressive - a must-read for anyone who cares about our schooling
You're welcome chhaylin. One thing i've found that helps a little is props lol. In this case if you can get your hands on an older copy of "Towards World Understanding". It's the 1948 education manual put out by UNESCO, the education & science arm of the UN. Distributed to educators throughout the US, warned about on the house floor by a congressman in 1954, and very clear as to the goals of our public education system. It's a real eye opener & clears a lot of things up.
Hi @voxpop, I just downloaded a copy of the book. Thank you for suggesting it to me as I am not familiar with the book yet. I have read another book about UNESCO though. It's called "Unesco: Its Purpose And Philosophy", written by its first president Julian Huxley. A shocking book to say the least.
Thanks. I will check it out.
