Bright Beginnings Pre School
"The Spirit of Education" is an examination of education at its most basic: what is education? How might it best be accomplished? And how well do our schools reflect those basics?
jeff white wrote "The Spirit of Education" as a response to his disenchantment with the field after twelve years of teaching, both at the elementary and university level. The promise of education, he says, hasnt been realized in our public institutions. His book doesnt simply criticize schools, however; it offers a model of learning that honors each individuals unique promise.
Education is a great equalizer, jeff says. But schools take that promise of equality and instead give us sameness. Schools steam the uniqueness out of us. Education evokes that uniqueness.
