Professor James Tooley is the one thinker on education in Britain who successfully cuts through the red tape of bureaucracy, the mindlessness of set curricula, and the imposition on children of trendy politically correct notions which are ultimately destructive.
Tooley is not just a theorist, despite his academic role as Professor at the University of Buckingham. He has founded, funded and run independent schools in Kenya and India, where he once spent two weeks in jail for his progressive views, loathed by state bureaucrats.
In this book Tooley identifies five educational 'taboos' stifled in public discussion: 1. Sex gender and relationships: Issues arising from LGBT and 'new relationship education'; 2. Boys as the second sex: Issues of masculinity and femininity; 3. What is it to be British: the government of so-called British values, multiculturalism, race/ethnicity; 4. Education, difference intelligence and IQ: how schools approach intellectual excellence; 5.Modern diseases: the rise of dyslexia, dyspraxia and Attention Deficit Disorder.
As can be seen from the chapters of this book, Educated? is to get you thinking and reflecting on the true education of our children.
