Description: In this beautifully written little book, Bill Ayers blends personal anecdotes with critique of the state of education. He offers a plan to help educators, policymakers, and parents to stretch toward something new and dramatically betterschools that are more joyful, more balanced, and more guided by the power of love.
Review Quotes:
"Ayers's book addresses teachers and educators in general and particularly those who are committed to community literacy practices...The dreams and visions it offers reflect the radical ideas of an earlier era, offering a sore reminder to educators who might be at a loss for dreams and vision. In that sense, a community literacy practitioner might find this book's documentation of utopian ideas to be relevant reminders of how we can better listen to locate sources of strength and stamina to continue teaching with conscience."
