This book will challenge your beliefs and assumptions about school, learning, education, and childhood. Be prepared to experience research that makes it clear that school has not fulfilled its promise of an enlightened democratic society, but has done exactly the opposite, promoting ignorance, prejudice, stupidity, consumerism, mindless entertainment, and competition for meaningless grades. The author brings to this project the experience of a long life involved in education, psychology, child-reading, and music. The book is overflowing with wisdom, humour, and well-documented research. As scholar and author Charles Barber says, 'Durrie paints on a vast canvas. He has the gift of uncovering forgotten links, and turning dots into through-lines. He does all of this in a conversational tone chosen to make every reader feel welcome, and to leave inspired.' This book may well change your life.
