To devise a theory of education is to address the questions of culture, cultural values and cultural identity formation in the child. In this original study, Robert Mitchell gives us a scholarly overview of cultural education in Americas schools. He demonstrates how the public trust of universal education fails our children and our democracy. He then advocates reframing our concept of education in terms of a sacred trust that teaches the culture of democracy.

Turning to the question of the role of the teacher, Mr. Mitchell weaves together anecdotal evidence of a teacher archetype with advanced theories in archetypal psychology. This compelling work breaks new ground to provide us with a refreshingly new and visionary approach to K-12 education.
