Zusammenfassung:	"In order for schooling to become relevant in the global age, the current curricula, teaching strategies, and school structures must be discarded; and more importantly, the way we think about schools and schooling must change. In essence, a distinctly different model of schooling needs to be conceptualized and implemented across the United States. Nordgren offers such a model based, in part, on schooling practices he observed in Sweden - a model that is supported by pertinent social, economic, and educational research. The global age of shifting national boundaries and economic influences requires a new set of skills for its citizens and workers. These traits must by fostered in our schools if our nation is to provide its people with the opportunities to succeed in the postindustrial economy, as well as make us a model of social justice to be emulated by the rest of the world."--BOOK JACKET.
