What reading level is The Reconstructed School book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the student who has imagination and industry inquires "What then?" and proceeds with investigations on his own initiative that result in a positive boon to humanity. Imagination takes the facts and makes something of them, while the college teacher has dis- closed his inability to cope with his own students in fields that only imagination can render productive.
To quote Henderson once again : " In most of our current education, instead of cultivating so valuable a quality, we have stupidly ...done all that we can to suppress it. We have not sufficiently studied the actual boy before us to find out what he is up to, and what end he has in mind. On the contrary, we proclaim, with curious indifference, some end of our own devis- ing, and with what really amounts to spiritual brutality, we try to drive him towards it. We do this, we irre- sponsible parents and teachers, because we ourselves lack imagination, and do not see that we are blunt- ing, instead of sharpening, our human tool. Yet we define education in terms of imagination when we say that education is the unfolding and perfecting of the human spirit; or, that education is a setting-up in the heart of the child of a moral and aesthetic revela- tion of the universe; for the human spirit which we are trying to establish is not a fact, but a gracious possibility of the future.
