Produktbeschreibung

This lively and challenging book provides the stimulus for further thinking about key educational issues.

They address broad questions that are central to any understanding of what is really going on in the education system.
Topics covered include: the new relationship of the state to education; the changed nature of schools; whether teachers are afraid to teach; the problems with circle time, anti-bullying strategies, citizenship education and multiple intelligences; the retreat from truth and the demise of theory in teacher training; and much more.
