The Underachieving School
John Holt displays again with undiminished clarity a kindly intellect that is strong, eloquent and compassionate, holding out to a nation trapped in ignorance a rational way to light the darkness.(Jonathan KozolLife)This book may stir up almost as much debate as John Dewey’s Democracy and Education.(Library Journal)With our schooling situation growing ever more deplorable, Holt’s work is more critically needed than ever. He spells out the problem and its solution with such clarity and simplicity that any parent can read him and every parent should. We ignore his prophetic vision at our peril.(Joseph Chilton Pearce)
