    Summary note
    Education and Ecstasy, by George Leonard, was originally written as a call for reform in America's school systems. This book reveals the deep-rooted structural problems in American schools-problems which still plague us. Leonard proposes that long school days and tedious homework are not ways to encourage learning; that teachers are overworked and underpaid. He proposes ways to integrate new methods of teaching that are still valuable and applicable today.
