Brian Huskie is brilliantly angry--about what he experienced as a soldier in Iraq and has since experienced as a public school teacher in the US. The target of his anger is compulsion. Compulsion eliminates the possibility of real education in our schools and fails to improve the world in our international relationships. Regarding schools, Huskie has some useful advice for students who are stuck in them and for administrators and others who would like to remove the compulsion and return to students the possibility of self-respect, self-control, and meaningful learning. --Peter Gray, Research Professor at Boston College and author of FREE TO LEARN: Why Releasing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life.
