The Meaning of Education by Daniel Greenberg

In 1968, a group of parents and educators founded Sudbury Valley School based on a clear vision of the individual freedom needed by children to flourish, and of a community governed equally by all its members. The task this book undertakes is to articulate the many strands that, together, form the fabric of education. Not many will challenge the starting point of this investigation. It is a definition that is simple and straightforward: Education is learning how to survive, and become a productive person, in the surrounding environment.
