Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

“Testing, grading, tracking: the machinery of ‘fixing’ education. But what of the alternative? When critique becomes dogma, and that which once melted into air has regained its solidity, this book is just the solvent we need. Timely and incisive, it dares to challenge the shortcomings of the many on the educational left whose answers to the testing problems of our day have become ossified or neutralised by attrition and compromise. An alertness to the working of neoliberal ideology informs John E. Petrovic’s perspective, cast uncompromisingly through the lens of Marxist analysis. It is to his credit that Petrovic revives the spirit of much maligned writers such as Althusser and Illich whose idiosyncratic emergence at a particular historical moment should not be seen to restrict their application now to the fixity of schooling for neoliberalism, and in so doing to propose unschooling (in school!) beyond the fetishisation of grades in their commodity form.”—Simon Boxley, University of Winchester, United Kingdom
