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. 606 $aFree schools$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xAims and objectives$zUnited States 606 $aSchool management and organization$zUnited States 615 0$aFree schools 615 0$aEducation$xAims and objectives 615 0$aSchool management and organization 676 $a371.04 700 $aMorrison$b Kristan Accles$f1969-$01806558 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964197903321 996 $aFree school teaching$94355802 997 $aUNINA
