Papers from the Headmaster Reflections on a World Fit for Children

Dr. Richard Hawleys Papers From The Headmaster is a collection of 25 essays in which he examines our contemporary culture in which todays children attempt to think and learnall in the hope that we might improve it. Gruesome news items are readily seen and heard by children who remember no other or better culture. Hawley considers the implications of imposing adult sexuality on children in amounts and forms that overwhelm and terrify them. Hawley asks what children actually "learn" from a popular culture in which public and private leaders are exposed as philanderers and frauds, in which athletes and entertainment stars are revealed as addicts and child molesters and murderers? In lucid and often surprising terms, Papers From The Headmaster depicts the malaise affecting our society. Hawleys many assertions, based upon years of guiding boys in choosing wholesome values, pint the way out of that malaise. At the heart of the essays is the conviction that to fail children is the greatest failure imaginable and to look after them lovingly is the best work in the world. Papers From The Headmaster should be read by ever parent, teacher, media mogul and politician in this country.Hawley, Richard A. is the author of 'Papers from the Headmaster Reflections on a World Fit for Children' with ISBN 9780839764885 and ISBN 083976488X.
