Description
Unschooling Critical Pedagogy, Unfixing Schools argues that critical pedagogy's tendency to try to fix schools denies and misreads the material dimension of schooling, thereby unnecessarily limiting possibilities for human flourishing within educational environments.
Though conservatives and criticalists perhaps espouse different values and social assumptions as rationale for reforming schools, they both seek to fix schools. Unschooling Critical Pedagogy, Unfixing Schools argues that in this move to fix, they both either deny or misread the material dimension of schooling, thereby unnecessarily limiting possibilities for human flourishing within educational environments. In order to unfix schools, making them dynamic and critical places of engagement, educators must review and revive their critical roots through Marx to overcome the educational necrophilia that has simply overwhelmed schools through the material conditions both within and without. Critical pedagogy is insufficient for such a project, with some iterations of it becoming errors of commission. Moving from Marx to Althusser to Illich, Unschooling Critical Pedagogy, Unfixing Schools concludes with a recommendation for unschooling in schools which requires getting students out of schools as much as possible.
