Description
Through candid portraits of life in our schools, Sandro Contenta lays bare the “hidden curriculum”: the almost invisible ways in which schools are slowly breaking the spirits of many children and destroying their years of education. Contenta proposes a restructuring of schooling based on two themes: education for social change, and a holistic understanding of our world.
