This anthology compiles over 90 articles, short pieces, and book reviews originally published in Skole: The Journal of Alternative Education. The entries are arranged in 10 sections: schools and school people, teaching and learning, teaching and learning at home, history of innovative education, student writings, social change and comment, battle of the titans (debate among educational philosophers), the plight of our children, community as school as community, and reviews. Many articles examine the dangers of an authoritarian and compulsory educational system; the need to bring choice, democracy, and responsibility into education; the benefits of small schools, free schools, and home schooling; and the successes of innovative schools, teachers, and parents.
