Editorial Reviews
"This book is current, accessible and thought provoking [...] While this book was specifically written for pre-service teachers, I cannot imagine any educator, trustee, politician, or parent who would not find it engaging, challenging and beneficial." --Bruce Beairsto, Education Canada
"This textbook deals with philosophical questions in education in a way that is at once thoughtful, relevant, accurate, and thorough. . . . This is a terrific new book." --David Waddington, Concordia University
"This book asks some very critical and important questions about education and situates them within a Canadian context. Further, it broadens the definition of philosophy, which is encouraging and productive." --Theodore Christou, Queen's University
"Questioning the Classroom makes accessible the arduous task of doing philosophy of education by providing instructors and teacher candidates with a language and activities that see them through the task of thinking philosophically about education." --Sarah J. DesRoches, Philosophical Inquiry in Education
