Independent Schools, Independent Thinkers by Pearl Rock Kane Pdf
Exeter. Groton. Deerfield. Independent schools have long been viewed as bastions of the rich--undemocratic by their very nature and antithetical to the goals and spirit of public education. Increasingly, however, leading educators in private and public schools, along with university scholars and government policy makers, are becoming aware of the distinctive attributes of independent schools within the larger context of public policy for our national education system. The 25 essays in this book take a comprehensive, provocative, and often critical look at a sector of private schools that has been allowed to develop relatively free of government intervention. The essays feature contributions by leading educators such as Robert Coles, Diane Ravitch, and Maxine Green; policy analysts such as John Chubb, Terry Moe, and Albert Shanker; and teachers and administrators such as Deborah Meier, Richard Hawley, and Bill Honig. Those intimately involved with independent education will discover in this book a range of topics and a variety of opinions that will enlarge ongoing discussions and provoke new thinking. And those unfamiliar with independent education will find an introduction to the nature and culture of the schools and learn about the ways independent schools can enrich the current public policy debate on school choice.

It is up to her generation to make it happen, in as many different ways as there are colors in the world.
