Hardcover. Condition: Very Good.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In the tradition of Jonathan Kozol, this little book is driven by big questions. What does it mean to be educated? What is intelligence? How should we think about intelligence, education, and opportunity in an open society? Why is a commitment to the public sphere central to the way we answer these questions? Drawing on forty years of teaching and research, from primary school to adult education and workplace training, award-winning author Mike Rose reflects on these and other questions related to public schooling in America. He answers them in beautifully written chapters that are both rich in detail?a first-grader conducting a science experiment, a carpenter solving a problem on the fly, a college student?s encounter with a story by James Joyce?and informed by a deep and powerful understanding of history, the psychology of learning, and the politics of education. Rose decries the narrow focus of educational policy in our time: the drumbeat of test scores and economic competition. Why School? will be embraced by parents and teachers alike, and readers everywhere will be captivated by Rose?s eloquent call for a bountiful democratic vision of the purpose of schooling.…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. It?s a statistic that?s sure to surprise: close to 45 percent of postsecondary students in the United States today do not enroll in college directly out of high school and many attend part-time. Following a tradition of self-improvement as old as the Republic, the "nontraditional? college student is becoming the norm. Back to School is the first book to look at the schools that serve a growing population of "second-chancers,? exploring what higher educationin the fullest sense of the termcan offer our rapidly changing society and why it is so critical to support the institutions that make it possible for millions of Americans to better their lot in life. In the anecdotal style of his bestselling Possible Lives, Rose crafts rich and moving vignettes of people in tough circumstances who find their way; who get a second . . . or third . . . or even fourth chance; and who, in a surprising number of cases, reinvent themselves as educated, engaged citizens. Rose reminds us that our nation?s economic and civic future rests heavily on the health of the institutions that serve millions of everyday peoplenot simply the top twenty universities in U.S. News and World Reportand paints a vivid picture of the community colleges and adult education programs that give so many a shot at reaching their aspirations.…
