It s easy to look at the kind of progressive education that has become the normin top schools throughout Los Angeles and assume that it s always been that way, but ithasn t. When Paul Cummins founded Crossroads School, in 1971, the boys at Harvard School were wearing military uniforms, and the girls at Marlborough white gloves. Private school was for the rich, the white, the privileged. But Paul Cummins thought it was time for that to change. <i>Confessions of a Headmaster</i>is the story of that change, the story of the birth ofthe kind of open, enlightened, diverse education we all take for granted today, told in a warm and engaging way by the visionary in our midst who made it happen.
