The Schools We Need and Why We Don't Have Them
- List Price: $17.95
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Random House Inc
- Publish date: 09/01/1999
Renowned educator and author E. D. Hirsch, Jr., argues that, 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 schools' practices have severely curtailed their ability, and desire, to learn.
With an introduction that surveys developments in education since the hardcover edition was published, The Schools We Need is a passionate and thoughtful book that will appeal to the millions of people who can't understand why America's schools aren't educating our children.
