Product reviews for About Our Schools

Overall I did enjoy the book. I found it easy to read and informative. The authors point out that it is not meant to be read cover to cover but rather dipped into and out of as a reference book, and I will definitely keep it close to hand when I am writing about education. To have collected the views of so many of the greats of education from the past 70 years is indeed an accomplishment that should be celebrated and, whilst I feel some of the ideas put forward are not radical enough to have the impact needed, I hope that this book is read by those in positions of power. Even if a fraction of the ideas presented by Brighouse and Waters are taken on board, we could see vast improvements to the educational landscape.
