Summary: Open Schools -- a forgotten moment in education
Comment: Roland Barth's book recalls a wonderful intermezzo in education, between the nuclear terror of the 1950s and 60s and the grinding pressures of education reform that took off during the 1970s in the US. We chose open classrooms in the public schools for our young children and would do so again, but the public schools are now so fearful of the testing plague that they have all but forgotten this innovation. Barth's book reflects a teacher's practical experience with a non-authoritarian approach. It would of great interest and use to many younger parents today if Barth could survey what has happened to the open education movement since he wrote this book and point out the few but notable schools that are still involved in it.
