Summary: Schools have two aims: to help young people develop the skills, knowledge and grades they will need for further study and employment; and to help them cultivate the qualities of mind that will determine - even more than their test scores - how well they will flourish in life more generally. At the moment these are being set in opposition to each other: 'traditionalists' fight for rigour and knowledge, while 'progressives' want character and well-being. But it is a phoney and unnecessary war - so says Guy Claxton in his provocative book.
