Deschooling Society(55 mins)
This interview originally aired as part of the Education Debates in 1998. Very interesting.
You'll hear a recording of Paul Goodman, and an interview with Ivan Illich, the writer of the essay "Deschooling Society".
David Culp writes "Ivan Illich's book will change the way you see the world and yourself. It's difficult for us who were "successful" in government schools to look back at the process objectively, to remember the cartoonish simplification of everything, and the process' lack of applicability to our lives. You may need this book to help you reconsider that which has become so large a part of your own feeling of self-worth. You will then see why it is almost impossible to discuss true school reform with people - they still have their blinders on."
