A More Just Future

This text was a great exploration of how subjective and incomplete schooling can be, as well as the effects that can have on students and current events. I read this text as a part of a teacher book study and found it very helpful in raising questions of equity and highlighting ways in which educators can improve the experiences of students in all classrooms. I appreciated the book's stance that educators do not need to be perfect in implementation- rather, they have to be committed to doing better and responsible for doing research and receiving feedback. The overall message of the book is that a paradox mindset is critical for being able to view reality as it is. As countries are driven by people, they will (like those people) have positive and negative attributes and events in their past. It is essential to embrace and teach both aspects to students. At times, I found this text a bit drawn out or repetitive; however, overall the subject of the text and insights provided within it were beneficial and an asset to modern education.
