The Schools We Need

The Schools We Need

by E.D. Hirsch, Jr.

Hear Sample Windows Media Player   Real



From kindergarten through high school, our public educa-tional system is among the worst in the developed world. For over fifty years, the assumption that challenging children academically is unnatural for them, that teachers do not need to know the subjects they teach, that the learning process should be emphasized over the facts taught has prevailed. All this is tragically wrong. As renowned educator and author E.D. Hirsch, Jr., argues in The Schools We Need, in disdaining content-based curricula for abstract—and discredited—theories of how a child learns, the ideas uniformly taught by our schools have done terrible harm to America’s students. Instead of preparing our children for the highly competitive, information-based economy in which we now live, our school practices have severely curtailed their ability and desire to learn. But there is a solution.
