Title: Great book on the failings of institutionalized learning.
Product review: I read this book a few years ago, and still reread it from time to time. Illich does a great job of discussing how the whole concept of an institutionalized school doesn't work and defeats its own purpose. And looking back at my own school experience I very much agree, despite having been a successful A student. He does not just present the problems in modern schooling but gives a whole bunch of alternatives, some with more merit than others, but which are really ahead of his time. He talks about a learning network, before anyone thought of the internet.Highly recommend this book!
