Summary This book calls to our attention a number of myths or misconceptions in educational and social theory and practice: the myth that the intellect is invariably in command when so - called rational people make moral judgements, and that accordingly moral education must aim at development of the intellect alone: the myth of a consistently high - minded impartiality and integrity in educational administration, including that in universities and other higher education institutions: misconceptions on Human Rights and constitutional declarations concerning the rights of the child to education, and the myth of equality of educational opportunity: the myth that in formulating educational policies, politicians are necessarily serving the interests of the child or older learners rather than their own interests. Many other challenges are suggested from the questions examined
