The Schools Our Children Deserve is a book by award-winning author Alfie Kohn that discusses the current state of education in America. Kohn argues that the current system of education is focused on standardized tests and rote memorization, and fails to cultivate the curiosity and creativity of children. He advocates for a new approach to education that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving. He also proposes practical solutions to help schools better meet the needs of all students. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the problems in the education system, as well as a set of thoughtful and innovative solutions.
