- catalog abstract "Education reform is pointless if it does not influence what students can learn, what they want to learn, and most important, what they care about. This is a lesson John Dewey tried to teach us, but one we have either forgotten or willfully neglected. In Back to Basics, Francis Schrag builds on Dewey's fundamental principles and offers a probing and thoughtful exploration of the most basic questions in education today: what is the purpose of schooling and what should our educational aspirations be? what should be taught and how? who is accountable and what are they accountable for? and how should educators respond to difficult societal issues, such as inequality of resources, or the conflicting demands of school reform? In grappling with each of these questions, Schrag examines our most basic beliefs about education and forces us to think in greater depth about what schools can and should do.".
