Produktbeschreibung

Charles Suhor began his teaching career in the late 1960s as our society reckoned with war, integration, and the emerging 1970s. In Creativity and Chaos, Suhor describes how the incredible change occurring in American culture was translated into dramatic change in public schools. Creativity and Chaos reflects back on the lingering legacy of '70's progressivism, detailing the vital social shifts that improved our society and exactly where we went wrong-or not far enough.
