Harley RothsteinHarley Rothstein has been passionate about alternative education for half a century and has done extensive research on the subject. Intrigued by the well-known Summerhill School in England, he visited there many years ago. He taught in the public schol system where, as a teacher, he worked to incorporate the best aspects of alternative education into his classroom. Dr. Rothstein also taught in the UBC Education Faculty where he mentored student teachers and where he completed his PhD in educational history. In this book he now presents his findings to a wider audience, inviting readers to experience the excitement, challenges, and inspiration of the 1960s and 70s.
