Faced with mounting frustrations in her own traditional, middle school classroom and having little success in resolving them, Kristan Accles Morrison decided to seek out answers, first by immersing herself in the academic literature of critical education theory and then by turning to the field. While the literature on progressive education gave her hope that things could be different and better for students locked into America's traditional education system, she wanted to find a firsthand example of how these ideas played out in practice. Morrison found a radical "free school" in Albany, New York, that embodied the ideas found in the literature, and over a period of three months she observed and documented differences between alternative and traditional schools. In trying to reconcile the gap between those systems, Morrison details the lessons she learned about teachers, students, curriculum, and the entire conception of why we educate our children.Free schoolsUnited StatesEducationAims and objectivesUnited StatesSchool management and organizationUnited StatesFree schoolsEducationAims and objectivesSchool management and organization371.04Morrison Kristan Accles1969-1806558MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964197903321Free school teaching4355802UNINA
