What we want for schools reveals what we value as a society.
"What's the point of school?" Parents have a stock set of
responses, but the question remains unsettled, even two centuries
after the Prussians invented compulsory education. The Prussian
idea of what a school is for - to mold the populace to serve the
state - seems unacceptable today. In vogue, instead, are slogans
like "acquiring marketable skills" and "realizing your full
potential." These ideas powerfully shape our culture. Ultimately,
they boil down to pursuing one supreme value: individual success in
a competitive world. Schools are a mirror of our society as a
whole; what we want for schools makes plain what and whom we value
in our common life. In the Christian tradition, the life of
discipleship is also a school. In this educational community, under
the instruction of our one Teacher, we learn not to seek
empowerment, but to find strength in weakness; not to out-achieve
others, but to serve them; not to pursue our passion, but to obey a
call. Also in this issue: poetry by Christian Wiman; reviews of new
books by Robert Macfarlane, Jackie Morris, Francisco Cantu, Leif
Enger, Carol Anderson, Stephanie Land, and Susan Wise Bauer; and
art by Margaret McWethy, Albrecht Durer, Raphael, Gerard David,
Jackie Morris, Gustaf Tenggren, Sergey Dushkin, Anja Percival,
Dmitry Samofalov, Christoph Wetzel, Sherrie York, Cathleen
Rehfield, Pawel Kuczynski, and Jason Landsel. Plough Quarterly
features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their
faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles,
interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus'
message into practice and find common cause with others.
