Today's school system is based on a management method invented at about 1890 by Frederick Winslow Taylor, Scientific Management. Peter Drucker, one of the most influential management gurus of the last 100 years, observes this system does not work for knowledge work - school work!
As you will quickly find out, this book is not about teaching!
This book has one subject: the system of schooling. Specifically, migrating from the centralized planning & control of Scientific Management to methods of Modern Management which do work for knowledge work. And it's refreshing.
