Why (School) Teachers Should Be Trusted. Review of "Professionalism and Ethics in Teaching" by David Carr.

McPherson, Ian

Scottish Educational Review, v34 n1 p108-12 May 2002

This book offers ways to answer questions about public trust in teachers. Discourses on teachers as transmitters of moral and cognitive virtues and on the unsatisfactory nature of competing models of theory-practice relationships are grounded in an interpretation of Aristotle's Phronesis as moral wisdom. Education is only one of the purposes of schooling. (TD)
