Summary

In this groundbreaking book on school reform, Chip Wood boldly confronts the epidemic of busyness in our nation's K-8 schools. He shows how changing the way we use time will transform our schools from the "fact factories" they have become into the democratic communities of learning which they can and should be, schools in which the pace of the day encourages investigation, contemplation, completion, and community.
