Haggai Borkow, founder of the international software company Channel Storm, co-established the Harvard-MIT-affiliated NIR School of the Heart where Palestinians, Israelis, Jordanians, and Egyptians study together, of which he is Academic Director. In 2004, he founded Our School, which strives to revolutionize education, and he is setting up the first pre-school and school.

This book sets out to bridge through education the gaps between the subjective and the objective, and between the personal, social, political and cultural. It presents a vision for a school of the people and for the people, a school that facilitates empowering its students so they can improve their world. Our School is an analysis of education’s broken promises and an audacious attempt to make it possible for learners and teachers to ‘coexist peacefully’ like Bush’s ‘human being and fish’ – and through education, no less! It offers answers to unasked questions, and hands-on tips on how to live, love and laugh.

But it is also for parents and teachers who believe that education should be about empowering children. Our School shows how this can be done.
