When I sat down to evaluate this book here, I meant to make a couple of bland assertions along the lines that the book is occasionally pedantic (it is, but so what?) or that the argument occasionally becomes diffuse (it does, although with this topic, that seems almost inevitable), but the fact is, this is one of those rare books in that it is genuinely profound. That said, I'd like to single out chapter eight, "Mass Personalization and the 'Underground Man'" for special praise, and recommend it most highly for those concerned with current trends in education "reform." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"In this book, Diana Senechal confronts a culture that has come to depend on instant updates and communication at the expense of solitude. Schools today emphasize rapid group work and fragmented activity, not the thoughtful study of complex subjects. The Internet offers contact with others throughout the day and night; we lose the ability to be apart, even in our minds. Yet solitude plays an essential role in literature, education, democracy, relationships, and matters of conscience. Throughout its analyses and argument, the book calls not for drastic changes but for a subtle shift: an attitude that honors solitude without descending into dogma"-- Provided by publisher.
