Shelves: education Inspiring material for educators. Many great ideas are presented here from different people offering alternatives to traditional school models. The subtitle better captures what this book is about than the title: "Bending the bars of Traditional Education". I like that. Education should set us free, and the place of learning should not look or feel like prison.

Carpenter, associate professor of education at Berry College , has called his books "scathing" and "one-sided and hyperbolic, [but] not inaccurate" [7] and describes himself as in agreement with Gatto.
It presents an incoherent ensemble of information that the child needs to memorize to stay in school. Apart from the tests and trials, this programming is similar to the television; it fills almost all the "free" time of children. One sees and hears something, only to forget it again.
It teaches them to accept their class affiliation. It makes them indifferent. It makes them emotionally dependent. It makes them intellectually dependent. It teaches them a kind of self-confidence that requires constant confirmation by experts provisional self-esteem. It makes it clear to them that they cannot hide, because they are always supervised.

This testing measured academic competence and knowledge of specific subjects required for teaching. Praxis tests are taken by potential educators as part of certification required by state and professional licensing entities [15].
