About this title: Leon Botstein argues that the pessimism and belief in cultural decline that has dominated American discourse about education and the future of our children is both wrong and harmful. In this book, he offers both a critique of such relentless negativity and an alternative that reaffirms the civilizing mission of education for all our citizens.
