Reviews

This work is thought provoking and challenging. Since it is based on the author's own lived experiences and draws from the Harmony School experiences, it is rich enough to prod even the most narrow-minded readers to chance another perspective.


With this book, Goodman's compelling and long-standing progressive reform work as part of the Harmony Education Center should receive substantial attention and make a major impact on the discourse of school reform. This work is thought provoking and challenging. Since it is based on the author's own lived experiences and draws from the Harmony School experiences, it is rich enough to prod even the most narrow-minded readers to chance another perspective.
