Description
It is taken for granted that schooling is essential preparation for democratic citizenship. This book argues the opposite; that schooling to age 18 is often a hindrance to the flowering of democratic values and practices. It proposes a different kind of schooling where students learn, partly of course from the school's social life, how to live democratically and harmoniously with each other and other life on planet earth. The claim is documented that schooling typically fosters self-centredness and an attitude that life is little more than a competitive scramble.
