Overview
Overview
This book contains a succinct presentation of the history of educational reform in the United States from the "Nation at Risk" document in the 1980s to the "No Child Left Behind Act" of the early 2000s. In addition, the book provides a clear summary of Rudolf Steiner's ideal Threefold Social Organism which places education in the sphere of cultural/spiritual activity. In this realm all efforts would be free from any governmental or commercial control. This is a distinct opposite view of contemporary practice with the federal government taking increasing control with powerful economic influence through business-funded foundations and direct corporate investments in pharmaceuticals, text books, curriculum programs, food industries, testing, and, most influential, the technology industry. The book is a brief and powerful education in what is and what could be on behalf of children in America.
