The Cynical Educator

Exploring the theme of cynicism in education, this book argues for a revival of militant cynicism as a response to the disillusionment felt by educators. It critiques the current state of education, portraying a workforce drained of passion and pleasure, and suggests that embracing a more profound cynicism can invigorate rather than exhaust. By examining historical and philosophical contexts, it challenges educators to confront their complacency and the shortcomings of the educational system, urging a reclamation of their commitment to meaningful change.
