American public education has been on a merry-go-round of change
for the past 40 years. We made something that is complex by its
very nature into a strangled enterprise that is becoming even more
knotty and complicated. A fog of reform is created obscuring issues
and deflecting our focus from the real mission of schools. We need
to emphasize ideals and principles in providing an education for
our children in a caring and creative way. This book is about the
fog of reform and getting back the ideal of a place called school.
The sections describe a new metaphor and approach to change and
examine the forces and ideals that can bring about the schools
children need. Principles and values transform organizations, not
mandates and fear. Recipes for making schools into caring places
for children do not exist. Great schools must be created
one-by-one. Numbers don't create change; people and passion do.
Unless we focus on the moral imperative of educating children, we
will fail them and possibly slide into an ethical quagmire.
