HAS TRADITIONAL EDUCATION BECOME AN UNHAPPY AND IRREPARABLY UNPRODUCTIVE PASSAGE FOR MOST CHILDREN? The answer is not clear-cut, but the question's social and economic overtones are. At a time when policymakers, social commentators and parents burst beyond the public-education system's boundaries to make topics of teacher accountability, school performance and federal subsidies a source of unending socioeconomic debate, traditional education is gradually denying students a key ingredient for existential fulfillment: creativity. The book explains why creativity and imagination are as momentous as math, reading and science, excavating new ground in the debate for a better school and supplying a theoretical foundation for the solving of some of the most vexing problems faced by modern-day educators, policymakers, social scientists and businesspeople.

The book contains a helpful Discussion Guide. Through thought-provoking questions, the book gives extensive advice on how to use the discussion guide, how to inform decisions related to the topics at hand, and how to best read it - alone, in reading groups, with your partner, or as part of learning activities, among others.
