Abstract
Book reviewed in this article: Drawing upon the work of Piaget, this paper asserts that it is the multiple experiences of cognitive disequilibrium in the course of vitally meaningful encounters with the environment that necessitates the child's accommodation to that environment. When home environment functions at a lower level of conceptualization than that required in school, the child will be at a cognitive disadvantage. Suggestions for educational programs and policy are presented.
