Product reviews for Thinking Allowed

Never mind the King James Bible - every school should have a copy of Thinking Allowed on Schooling by Mick Waters instead. While the King James Bible might be useful to many of today's schools as a door stop, Waters' tract, written with esprit and elegance, is a sharp, balanced and enlightened rumination on the historical, political and social influences of schooling. Like the ghosts in Dickens' -˜A Christmas Carol', he clearly and calmly presents a past, present and possible futures for schools, offering ideas while firmly laying down a revolutionary gauntlet for those with the wit and courage to pick it up. Without a doubt, it is the duty of everyone remotely connected to or interested in schooling and education to read this book and help transform the future of education, before it is too late.
