Book synopsis

Understanding life in school would seem to be something everyone should have a good grasp of, considering that most of us have been to school. However, this can lead us to accept school for what it is and not question the deeper elements of its organization. This book takes a deeper look at the question of life in school, going to the source of the matter itself - the young people who live school on a day to day basis. Contrasting experiences of school and school camp enables insight into each environment which is not possible without the juxtaposition created by the two forms of education. Key to analysis of these experiences is an understanding of life, influenced by Heidegger and Dewey, that highlights the importance of not only what we know but also who we are.
