| THE SOUL OF EDUCATION, Helping Students Find Connection, Compassion, and Character at School. Kessler. During the Great Depression, folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote the famous line "...the soup was so thin you could read a magazine through it..." Soul of Education argues that in the past several decades, humanity itself has been watered down: community turned into consumerism, politics into manipulation, and destiny into DNA, making it increasingly difficult to find nourishment for the hungers of the heart. This book offers a compelling new vision that seeks to reclaim our humanity in the 21st century. Leaving behind the "thin soup" of teaching to the tests and returning to a rich broth of diversity where development of human thoughts and potential take precedence over cut-throat Machiavellian programs for raising test scores - designs that only result in degredation of student and teacher spirits. A revolutionary book in an era increasingly controlled by corporate publishers and testing companies who profit from the fears and misinformation surrounding "teach to the tests" mania. A must read for teachers, administrators, and parents who want their children to grow up as thinkers rather than artifacts of distant impersonal scoring machines. Time for a change. #STO-9020.
