Danger School is a cartoon book on the ways by which schools are being privatized and corporaterized to turn education into a commodity for ruthless profit making and are subverting society and individuals as human beings both.
Many serious educators have rated the book as the best cartoon critique of the decaying education system.
After reading the book, which has been illustrated by lead political cartoonist Claudius of Brazil, I have written the following non-poem which cam been seen as the review of the book
DANGER SCHOOL REVIEW NON-POEM WITH PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
A school becomes
A ‘Danger School’ –DS
When it doesn’t pay attention
To fostering self-awareness
To nurturing pro-social skills
Of caring, sharing and participation
With a sense of mutuality
With a sense of good-feel proximics
For self-development
In a conducive social environment
That respects diversity of each child
To design differentiated learning
~*~
A DS when treats
Pampering as a potent tool
To retain children
To entertain children
Through edutainment
Through communtainment
By copying and mimicking
Through competition and talentism
To tout individual achievement
Of a few students as school’s achievements -
It becomes a exploitative-arrogant Rogue school – RS
~*~
Some clever gimmickry spinners
Have turned education
Into commodity
With makeover of schools
Into glamorous malls
For clients to be in-n- around
And, pay as well
To enjoy self-destruction
Through gratification of lower instincts
