Description
 
 
An exquisite and compelling statement of what education could and should be. Annemarie begins with an insightful discussion of what she calls "the dilemma of modern education" in order to provide the reader with a clear understanding of "where she is coming from." She then presents a philosophy of self-actualization and interdependence which represents a "philosophy of both learning and life." Readers will find this discussion of the philosophy and its implementation specific and meaningful, well-illustrated by examples taken from Annemarie's 40-plus years of reflective experience.

An interesting book detailing the philosophy behind, the inception of, and the development of the Roeper City and Country School. Includes interesting reading on "the self."
