Rituals of Failure: What Schools Really Teach
Sandro Contenta
$19.95 CDN
paper 0-921284-70-5
1993
Through candid portraits of life in our schools, Sandro Contenta lays bare the "hidden curriculum": the almost invisible ways in which schools are slowly breaking the spirits of many children and destroying their years of education. Contenta proposes a restructuring of schooling based on two themes: education for social change, and a holistic understanding of our world.
"He argues eloquently for his vision -- schools that create revolutionaries rather than reactionaries."
-- The Globe and Mail
