The summer issue of Our Schools/Our Selves, the third in the "Iron Cage" series, is edited by David Clandfield and George Martell.
At a time when neighbourhood schools are threatened with closure, this issue provides an invaluable and thoughtful exploration of community schools--the good, the bad, and the ugly--across various Canadian provinces and in a number of countries.
According to the editors, "the demand for Community Schools has genuine progressive support provided they stay true to their purpose. And in the struggle to keep them on course, we get a chance to rethink our schools as democratic institutions, uniting 'really useful' learning and community development."
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
