Summary

Are American schools little more than ideological playpens that defend the right to be stupid-and promote an arrogant national ignorance? Konstantine Turkalo, author of It's No Wonder Kids Don't Learn-Just Look What They Teach Teachers, believes so. His surehanded analysis of Progressive education theory and its practices exposes the disastrous shortcomings of the theory. There is a simple solution though, just teach them, to read, write, and add ... and tell them that hard work is a good thing.
