I loved Around the World in 80 Schools. It is a generous, thoughtful and deeply humane exploration of what schools are for. Adam J. Seldon takes us beyond systems, structures and metrics to the lived reality of classrooms and communities across the world. It is rich in insight, alive with curiosity, and rooted in a profound respect for the work of teachers and the potential of young people. This is a book that invites us to think more deeply about the purpose of education and to ask better questions about what makes a good school.
