Did you thrive at school or did it do your head in? Were you bullied, belittled or just plain bored to tears? Did it prepare you for the challenges of adult life and give you the confidence to see you through? Did it help resolve social and emotional issues? Did you find and fully express your true gifts, talents and passions? Were you really valued and appreciated just for who you are?
Do your children come home every day excited about their new learning experiences?
If your schooling was a problem for you and if history is repeating itself with your children this book is to remind you that you are not alone and that schooling has gone corporate. It is now more about "breaking in" potential workforce employees than about encouraging children to grow into fully functioning human beings.
The author tells his own story of stunted growth as both pupil and teacher and that of many other pupils and teachers stuck in a severely dysfunctional system. The wider picture is looked at and alternatives to mainstream schooling methods are set out and discussed. It is a call for radical change, necessary to re-build a broken society from the bottom up.
