Description
The memoir of an innovative American educator and the remarkable school she built--"a lucid presentation of what progressive education can accomplish" (The New York Times).Over a century ago, American educator Caroline Pratt created an innovative school that fosters creativity and independent thought by asking the provocative question: "Was it unreasonable to try to fit the school to the child, rather than . . . the child to the school?"
A strong-willed small-town schoolteacher who ran a one-room schoolhouse by the time she was seventeen, Pratt came to viscerally reject the teaching methods of her day, which often featured a long-winded teacher at the front of the room and rows of miserable children sitting on benches nailed to the floor.
In this "persuasive presentation of progressive education," Pratt recounts how she founded what is now the dynamic City and Country School in New York City, invented the "unit blocks" that have become a staple in classrooms around the globe, and played an important role in reimagining preschool and primary-school education in ways that are essential for the tumultuously creative time we live in today (Kirkus Reviews).
