Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1970. November 1970. Random House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394420829. 553 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Robert Giusti. keywords: Education America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In this bold new book, the result of a three-and-a-half-year study commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Charles E. Silberman examines the problems that beset American education with the same intelligence, compassion, and uncompromising honesty that marked his award-winning best seller Crisis in Black and White. Anyone who is concerned with the nation's public schools and with its colleges and universities will be disturbed by the picture of current practice which Mr. Silberman paints in vivid and painful detail. Many will agree with his insistence that it is not enough merely to ask, How can we bring the worst institutions up to the level of the best? - for all too often, the best is simply not good enough. Mr. Silberman indicates how colleges and universities might help bring about this reconstruction of public education by educating new kinds of educators, and how the colleges and universities must themselves change if they are to play this role. What distinguishes Silberman from other angry critics of American education is the empathy he shows for teachers as well as for children, both of whom are victimized and stifled by the way schools are organized. inventory #42168.
