Editor's review

This book belongs to the "Four Specials" Education Series and discusses the foundational role of school education in individual growth, emphasizing the school's function as an important base for individual socialization. It places school education in the context of the knowledge economy era and explores the relationship between systematic learning of cultural knowledge and the cultivation of social norms and values. It is suitable as a reference for educators seeking to understand the positioning of school education. Its highlight lies in outlining the value and mission of school education from a macro perspective; the writing leans toward popularizing educational theory rather than serving as a manual of specific teaching techniques. Readers can relate the content to their own teaching or educational practice and reflect on the connections between school education and family and social education. For readers concerned with basic educational theory who need to grasp the overall function of school education, this book offers a relatively clear cognitive thread.

Helpful but limited. This book can help parents understand the functions and boundaries of school education, so they can view the school's role in their child's growth more rationally.
