Description

Radical Schooling for Democracy examines a significant philosophical weakness in modern formal education. As neoliberal ideology continues to shape economic and social life, educational systems have shifted toward narrow, rational, and economic purposes for students. This book explores how these changes impact the learning experience across the globe. Author Hooley argues that current schooling methods can lead to frustration and alienation for many children. By focusing on economic utility, the system systematically removes students from the significant ideas, historical practices, and deep knowledge that connect them to their own communities. This work provides a necessary perspective on the direction of modern teaching and learning. It challenges the current trends in the philosophy of education and offers a look at how schooling can better serve the public good by reconnecting students with the broader world of knowledge and history.
