Porter Sargent of Boston, the most outstanding and consistent critic of the American educational scene since 1914, was also a national authority on the private school. Always interesting, always stimulating, Charles A. Beard complained that he "keeps me up at night following the shooting stars and wondering what is to come next."
Presenting "War on Education" by Porter Sargent, an audacious exploration that defies conventional thinking. This groundbreaking book delves deep into the fascinating interplay between our systems of education and the concept of war, breaking down ingrained perceptions of these two vastly different yet inextricably linked areas of human society.
Sargent brilliantly unearths the connection between the structure of our educational system and the recurrent specter of war. The book brings a fresh perspective to war as a manifestation of human behavior, presenting it not merely as a stark antithesis of peace, but as a dynamic, affirmative expression of expended energy.
Meanwhile, the book offers a challenging critique of the revered concept of 'education,' suggesting that beneath its sacred facade lies a mechanism that may, in fact, limit our youths’ potentials and subtly cultivate subservience. The author invites us to reassess our traditional views on education as a wholly benevolent force and considers how it might inadvertently contribute to societal conflict.
"War on Education" forces us to reconsider established paradigms, as Sargent adeptly explores the impact of education on our societal and individual behaviors, shaping the very essence of our civilization. This exploration extends beyond the psychological to encompass biological and neurological perspectives, offering an intriguing picture of human behavior and how it could evolve in the future.
