In this important short book, Denis Doyle advances the powerful but novel argument that liberal education should be the centerpiece of elementary and secondary schooling. A liberal education builds character as it teaches students how to think. With a Foreword by former Xerox CEO and former Deputy Secretary of Education David T. Kearns, this short book by noted education analyst and critic Denis P. Doyle is certain to attract national attention.
