5.0 out of 5 stars
A masterpiece, challenging and inspiring,
By Elly (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lives of Children: The Story of the First Street School (Innovators in Education) (Paperback)
This book is a masterpiece, a classic work, beautifully and tenderly written, full of wisdom. The book's chapters alternate between excerpts from the journal Dennison kept during his year as a teacher at the First Street School (a small "free school" that served primarily poor children of color in New York City during the mid-1960's) and essays on education that use Dennison's experiences at First Street as their starting points. This book has been on my bookshelf for twenty-five years and I have gone back to it over and over. As a "touchstone" for the essential truths about education, this book far surpasses any other book on education I've seen.

This review is from: The Lives of Children: The Story of the First Street School (Innovators in Education) (Paperback)
As when I first read this book 30 years ago, it is still the best explanation for why education works or doesn't work. And it is very well written -- and very touching! It reaches one's soul.
