Holmes presents a textured picture of the difficulties facing
schools in Canada. He examines the social background of students
and the competing goals of parents, teachers, and governments. He
criticizes progressivism, or child-centred education, and speaks
out against the closed-mindedness of the educational establishment.
He also looks at current research on effective and ineffective
schools, as well as on education achievement in national and
international terms. His findings show that the difficulties facing
Canadian schools are not caused by a lack of money but by a poor
allocation of funds. Increasingly frustrated parents, dedicated
teachers, and discouraged professors will find The Reformation of
Canada's Schools a welcome source of ideas, information, and
thought-provoking possibilities for combating the crisis in
Canadian education.
