Produktbeschreibungen
From Kirkus Reviews
The five essays in this book are powerful reminders that currently popular ideas of school choice may be only another trendy veneer disguising the deeply rooted problems of public education. Teacher Kohl (From Archetype to Zeitgeist, 1992, etc.) is an ardent spokesman on behalf of students, the people most neglected in debates about failures in the classrooms. The title essay explores the provocative idea that ``not-learning'' is a conscious choice made by children who observe, sometimes very early, that the school system is trying to impose on them values and behavior that are foreign and sometimes repugnant to them. Diagnosed as learning- disabled, stupid, or disciplinary problems, children who appear not to be able to learn to read or do math may simply have opted out of the system, choosing instead to put their intelligence and creativity to work outside school. In ``The Tattooed Man,'' he asserts that, before anything else can be accomplished, teachers must challenge the hopelessness felt by students. The ``norming of excellence'' and political correctness are the subjects of two other essays, accompanied by a devastating critique of E.D. Hirsch, Jr.'s Cultural Literacy and Core Knowledge series. Kohl attacks Hirsch's material as not only racist and sexist, but ``pernicious, stupid, and dangerous.'' Martin Luther King, Jr.'s call to be ``maladjusted'' to injustice and inequity is the theme of the last essay. ``Creative maladjustment'' consists of ``learning to survive with minimal moral and personal compromise in a thoroughly compromised world,'' says Kohl. In such a world, he argues, the failure of schools and teachers is often pinned on children--by diagnosing them with Attention Deficit Disorder, for example. He challenges teachers to take action by, for instance, refusing to turn such children over to special education classes. Some anecdotes and examples are repeated from earlier works, but this is must reading for Kohl fanciers and anyone looking for the humanity buried in the long debate about why Johnny can't read. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Synopsis
An essay on "not learning" or refusing to learn. Kohl draws on an idea of Martin Luther King Jr's, and talks about the need for "creative maladjustment" in the classroom and anywhere else that students' intelligence, dignity or integrity are compromised by a teacher, an institution or other social mindset. This volume also includes "The Tattoed Man", Kohl's autobiographical essay about "hopemongering", which Kohl finds essential for all effective teaching.

i am a college student majoring in education. it really is all about perception. i perceive students one way and you perceive students another way. be not deceived, the american school system has not changed from the time period that herbert kohl taught school. i thought the representation in the book of the diverse cultures was excellent. i also know that the five essays or stories in the book had much to do with racial equality as well as being politically correct in the classroom as a teacher. very good book and very well written. if i tell you that all teachers should read it, would you? probably not, but if you want more insight, it is definately a great book to pick up and read.

I really enjoyed this book. The author told of his life experiences of not wanting to learn as well as ethnic & culture diverse students that he taught. The book showed how Herbert Kohl really loved and cared about his job dispite the bias school system.

I thought this book is creative insight, for new teachers to learn about the field of education.

An interesting direction in Teacher Education!
The concept of not-learning something that could be learned is an interesting phenomenon. It is akin to not thinking about the punchline of a joke once you've already heard it. Lesen Sie weiter...
