Summary Annotation In Teaching Toward Freedom, William Ayers proposes a new way of looking at the craft of education: how it can be used in authoritarian ways at the service of the state, the church, or a restrictive existing social order-or, as he envisions it, as a way for students to achieve "their fullest democratic humanity." Using examples from his own classroom experiences as well as from popular culture, film, and novels, Ayers redraws the lines concerning how we teach, why we teach, and what we find when we help students become independent, restless, and engaged learners. This lucid and inspiring book will help teachers at every level to realize that ideal.
