- I haven't received any more wonderful book
- suggestions so, I thought I'd try to prime the
- pump. I'm really enjoying the development
- of a list for myself.
- How about:
- Plato's Republic
- Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
- Rousseau's The Emile
- Thomas Jefferson's essays on education
-
- Or perhaps:
-
- Gerald Coles's The Learning Mystique
- Alan Peshkin's Growing Up American
-
- For the inspiration of teachers (Are these worth
- a try Aimee?):
-
- Samuel Freedman's Small Victories
- Theodore Sizer's Horace's Compromise
- Tracy Kidder's Among Schoolchildren
