EDUCATION REFORM IN THE UNITED STATES |
||
|
As you'll find out from other pages of this web site, U.S. academic achievement has stagnated or declined for almost a hundred years while virtually every other area of human endeavor has advanced tremendously. Despite this fact, public school costs have skyrocketed. Pedagogical methods are often chosen without the benefit of research trials, and sometimes in spite of evidence that they are inferior to other well-known techniques. It is no wonder that the education sections of bookstores across the country are filled with titles such as Myron Lieberman's Public Education: An Autopsy, and Charles Sykes' Dumbing Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves but Can't Read, Write, or Add. | |
