The politics of educational ignorance exposed.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
In this brief volume, Dr. Frank Smith, a Harvard researcher AND genuinely talented writer, deflates standard educational myths about teaching reading in particular and education in general. He pulls no punches in his condemnation of the bloated nonsense floating around classrooms and insulting our intelligence today. Of particular importance is his famous article, "The Politics of Ignorance." Written over 20 years ago, it is as wise and witty as it was when it first appeared. Get it, read it, and be prepared to reassess everything you thought you knew about education.
