In today's high schools, education is often reduced to a means of
achieving financial security, leading to an overemphasis on
quantifiable measures of performance. This approach encourages
academically talented students to focus on test scores and rankings
rather than intellectual enrichment, and discourages students with
non-academic talents from pursuing them. A Richer, Brighter Vision
for American High Schools advocates instead a unifying educational
aim of producing better adults, which would encompass all aspects
of students' lives: intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual,
social, vocational, aesthetic, and civic. Nel Noddings offers
suggestions to improve high schools by increasing collegiality
among students and faculty, enriching curricula with
interdisciplinary themes, renewing vocational education programs,
addressing parenting and homemaking, and professionalizing the
teaching force. This thought-provoking book will act as an
important guide for teachers, teacher educators, administrators,
and policy makers.
