  • Book Description

    Why do efforts at reforming schools routinely fail? It is because schools are by and large succesful in achieving their two primary responsibilities, that of meeting the needs of the bureacratic society which funds them and the intentional goals and beliefs of the students who attend them. But in meeting them, both minds and societies are altered in conspicuous and important ways that this books sets out. This book offers a theoretical account of the relation between the minds of learners and the institutional structure of the school that would account both for the ways that schooling remakes minds and societites and why such institutions are resistant to change.
