Title: Many Questions Left Unanswered
Review: Alfie Kohn's unique perspective on building community in the classroom sounds provocative, but really it's a plan that won't work in today's schools. Kohn seems to feel that much of the control in the classroom should be with the students, but how can this work when most children can't handle this power Kohn wants them to have? The book leaves many questions unanswered, and the "ten most frequently asked qusetions" near the end doesn't cut it. Kohn's repeated criticism of more assertive discipline methods gets old quickly, and perhaps he should've spent more time defining his own method instead of tearing apart other peoples' work. Sure, giving students more freedom and building community is a goal in education, but this book's ideas aren't the answer.
