 | The Schools We Need by Anna Fields, E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
Hirsch argues that in eschewing content-based curricula for abstract--and disproved--theories of cognitive development, the educational establishment has done irreparable harm to America's students, and instead of preparing them for the country's highly competitive information-based economy, the process-oriented curricula the establishment practices has severely curtailed their ability, and desire, to learn. Suggesting a curriculum based on hard work, knowledge acquisition and rigorous testing, The Schools We Need offers a workable solution. AUTHOR: Anna Fields, E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
