Summary: Previous reviewer reasonably unhappy
Comment: I understand perhaps why the previous reveiwer was unhappy about this new book. Although I am relatively new to Kohl, this book is somewhat repetitious. It feels more like an overview of some of Kohl's work in schools, with some noticeable development of his critical ideas. Kohl details his ideas about stupidity in the current public school system (related to his idea of "not-learning" in "I Won't Learn from You") and he has some pretty strong words for special education programs and the flood of ADD/ADHD "cases" in our schools. It's a good book, definitely worth a read; however, if you know Kohl's work intimately, you might be happier borrowing it from the library instead of shelling out $20.

Summary: what a waste
Comment: what a waste! very trite, rather like sitting in a freshman education college classroom! seems like after 40 years we could have something "real world" schoolwise, to think about from h.k. his earlier books were much more insightful and had greater depth. in fact, i bought this book on the authors "name" alone....i will never do that again!!!
