About this film

John Goodlad, author of the highly acclaimed A Place Called School and visiting professor at the University of Washington School of Education, discusses his holistic view of our school system and presents some dissenting views on some widely held opinions. For example, "There is nothing in the formal education of our citizens to prepare them to be voters and taxpayers in the educational realm other than what they pick up by being a parent." Originally broadcast on UWTV as a segment from Upon reflection.
