Wot, No School? How Schools Impede Education
wotnoschool.com is the website for debate about the principles and issues raised by the book ‘Wot, No School? How Schools Impede Education’ by Jonathan Langdale and John Harrison published by Best Publishing Ltd. and available from amazon.com price £6.99 paperback. This is the second edition of the book originally titled ‘Chance of a Lifetime’.
This book is for parents, employers, artisans, professionals, young people, academics – everyone with a stake in the personal fulfillment, civilised behaviour and productive capacity of our future generations. We have allowed ourselves, over the years, to believe that the problem of education can only be addressed through the institution of school; that that institution has now become more important than the young people and the teachers within it and that, as an institution, it has become less a means of advancing education than a political instrument of government control.
“Very powerful and good to read.” Prof. Alison Wolf
“Age 14 [for leaving school] is a bit late!.” Prof. James Tooley
“Fascinating and delightfully well-written.” Prof. Charles Handy
