Lyn Lesch advocates that learning cannot be measured by empirical
results like testing and grading. As the founder of Chicago's The
Children's School, Lesch didn't give grades or submit students to
standardized testing_such conditions may seem blasphemous to most
educators, but the results spoke for themselves. Without the
high-stakes pressure of results, accountability, and testing,
students were able to take a more active role in their education.
With reduced stress on performance, students can develop an
openness to the material and link learning to their own personal
experience. If the status quo goes unchanged, Lesch argues that
students will be schooled in a disembodied, dull manner that
prevents true learning and comprehension. To avoid this, Lesch
describes how education should revolve around each student's
personal experience (i.e., linking school with what matters to
individual students). Perhaps more than anything, this book is
intended to be a discussion point for developing a healthy
relationship between personal experience and academic learning.
