Poses basic questions about the nature and purpose of schooling. Proposing that what is needed is a new purpose consistent with contemporary knowledge production processes--one that moves beyond the either/or binary of preparing workers/citizens in a competitive global economoy or a democracy, Larson argues that the only real solution is to start over in in U.S. education--the purpose of schooling should be to facilitate human learning, meaning making, and knowledge production toward just and equitable education for all. --From publisher description.
