Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a guide to high school instruction, provides a fresh perspective on the fundamental elements of instruction. The author proposes a departure from traditional theory and practice, favoring instead a reorganization of the curriculum around concepts of social service and functionality. This would involve the elimination of subjects whose value has waned and the supplementation of the remaining subjects with material addressing contemporary social problems. The aim is not to teach disciplinary knowledge but to prepare students for life in a cosmopolitan society. Some subjects, such as English, history, and citizenship, would remain constants throughout the curriculum. Others, like foreign languages, would be offered as electives. The author believes that by focusing on the social core of the curriculum, high schools can better prepare their students to be responsible and engaged citizens.
