The book connects themes of citizenship, culture, and curriculum to advocate for broader educational reform.
It generated debate for its provocative claims about adolescence, maturity, and the purposes of schooling.
Botstein uses his perspective as an academic administrator and public intellectual to challenge prevailing educational orthodoxies.
