Description
In this vital new book, one of America's foremost educators addresses a primary concern of parents and teachers alike: what are the "basic skills" needed to become a capable person in today's society, and how can they be taught in our public schools?
Herbert Kohl (author of 36 Children; Reading, How to; and Growing with Your Children) redefines these skills in direct and practical terms and outlines a bold new curriculum for teaching them to children.
At once a clear analysis and an effective program for action, Basic Skills is essential reading for everyone who is concerned about the future of public education in our country.
