This book provides an optimistic account of the value and role of
schooling. Schooling is a common but not universal approach to
education and has need of its own distinctive justification, in
contrast to other approaches such as home-based or work-based
education. The book tackles and rejects the various large-scale
'functional' theories of schooling which continue to dominate
current debates and policies, such as schooling supporting
employment and the economy, or developing citizenship. Instead, it
argues that schooling and schools should be viewed as places to
learn community within and through community. The lived reality of
relationships within schools, based on care and curiosity, is as
strong as ever: and upon this foundation is built an original
philosophy of schooling. This reflective book will appeal to
students and scholars of philosophy of education and to all
professionals concerned with schools.
