In her new Introduction, Nel Noddings revisits her seminal book and places care as central to current debates on standardization, accountability, privatization, and the continuous struggle between traditional and progressive methods of education. Rather then forcing one side to yield to the other, this book advocates an alternative \"responsive system\" that will allow the best ideas to flourish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cstrong\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, Noddings once again envisions a school system built on the idea that different people have different strengths, and that these strengths should be cultivated in an environment of caring, not of competition. She suggests that if we make the responsiveness characteristic of caring more basic than accountability, we can accommodate both traditional and progressive preferences in one school system to the benefit of all...especially the children. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters address the practical and theoretical questions involved in organizing traditional and nontraditional areas of study around themes of care. Introductory chapters focus on caring in general and on the problems of liberal education, while the final chapter offers sound advice for implementing a caring curriculum in our schools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the First Edition!\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A welcome addition to the often fragmented discussion of what children need and what school and education should be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003e--Harvard Educational Review\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I recommend this book to all concerned about education, personally and\/or professionally.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJournal of Moral Education\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In the morass of school reform that calls for such changes as national standards, improved assessments, and new ways of organizing schooling, Noddings provides lucid thinking about the priorities we ought to consider.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTeachers College Record\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNel Noddings \u003c\/strong\u003eis Lee Jacks Professor of Education, Emerita, at Stanford University.
