商品簡介
The story of the alternative schools movement in the United States is a story about competing ideas on the purposes and goals of schooling, declares Neumann (teacher education, San Diego State U.). He argues that the movement was grounded in an understanding of human reality conditioned by existential philosophy and humanistic psychology, as well as the cultural tumult of the 1960s. He explores the origins and impacts of the movement, looks at public alternative schools from the 1970s to the 1990s, and touts the democratic values of their educational activities.
