The challenge of public education, an issue of national concern, is illuminated through compassionate intelligence and art in this exploration of three Boston-area schools by psychiatrist Robert Coles and photographer Nicholas Nixon. A cross-section of American schoolchildren today, the students photographed by Nixon range from the profoundly challenged to the most gifted, in pictures taken at a Cambridge elementary school, the Boston Latin School, and the Perkins School for the Blind.The photographs are accompanied by quotations from the children and a three-part essay by Dr. Coles, himself a graduate of Boston Latin and intimately familiar with the other two schools. Dr. Coles reveals the students' inner lives with extraordinary compassion while recalling key moments in his own educational experience that have shaped his influential outlook.A brilliant demonstration of the power of documentary as art, School is destined to become a classic.
