Synopsis

Brings together researchers and thinkers in educational philosophy to explore the critical moral questions that must be asked and answered before meaningful education reform can take place. Arguing that all questions concerning public schooling are actually moral questions, the book reveals how teaching is a moral craft - one requiring not only that educators act ethically, but that they fulfill the very complex charge of passing on to students and to the community as a whole, the deepest values of our culture.
