Alternative Education ... More recently, social critics such as John Caldwell Holt, Paul Goodman, Frederick Mayer, George Dennison and Ivan Illich have examined education from more individualist, anarchist, and libertarian perspectives, that is, critiques of the ways that they feel conventional education subverts democracy by molding young people's understandings... Other writers, from the revolutionary Paulo Freire to American educators like Herbert Kohl and Jonathan Kozol, have criticized mainstream Western education from the viewpoint of their varied left-liberal and radical politics... Ron Miller has identified five core elements common to many contemporary educational alternatives: Respect for every person Balance Decentralization of authority Noninterference between political, economic, and cultural spheres of society A holistic worldview Modern forms A wide variety of educational alternatives exist at the elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education...

Education Economics ... There also seems to be a correlation between gender differences in education with the level of growth; more development is observed in countries which have an equal distribution of the percentage of women versus men who graduated from high school... When looking at correlations in the data, education seems to generate economic growth; however, it could be that we have this causality relationship backwards... For example, if education is seen as a luxury good, it may be that richer households are seeking out educational attainment as a symbol of status, rather than the relationship of education leading to wealth...

Education Theory ... In terms of speculative thought, its history began with classical Greek philosophers and sophists, and today it is a term for reflective theorizing about pedagogy, andragogy, curriculum, learning, and education policy, organization and leadership... On the other hand, a theory of education can be "normative (or prescriptive) as in philosophy, or descriptive as in science." In the first case, a theory means a postulation about what ought to be... It provides the "goals, norms, and standards for conducting the process of education." In the second case, it means "an hypothesis or set of hypotheses that have been verified by observation and experiment." Whereas a normative educational theory provided by a philosopher might offer goals of education, descriptive "theory provides concrete data that will help realize more effectively the goals suggested by the philosopher." A descriptive theory of education can be thought of as a conceptual scheme that ties together various "otherwise discrete...
