Reflections On Education And Learning [Kindle Edition]

Bill Whitehouse (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book outlines a paradigm shift concerning education, schools, learning, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The book explores numerous themes ranging from: religion and science: to: issues of public policy and, in the process, puts forth a perspective which argues that much of what goes on with respect to education is inconsistent with a variety of principles inherent in both the amended Constitution as well as our intuitive ideas about basic human rights. Some of the topics explored in various chapters are: grading, homework, educational purpose, qualities of a teacher, and much more.

Bill Whitehouse graduated with an honors degree in Social Relations from Harvard University and also received a doctorate in Educational Theory from the University of Toronto. He is the author of more than fifteen books and has taught at a number of institutions of higher learning in both Canada and the United States.
