School Is Dead by Everett Reimer
Alternatives in Education
A radical critique of compulsory schooling that argues institutions primarily sort, control, and certify rather than nurture curiosity, thereby entrenching social inequality through credentialism and bureaucracy. It calls for dismantling the school monopoly and building decentralized learning networks—resources, mentors, apprenticeships, and peer exchanges—that enable self-directed study, competence-based recognition, and equitable access to knowledge as a social right beyond classrooms and grades.
