The Futility of School Reform

Meer over het boek

The book critiques the traditional education system, asserting that it fails to help most children realize their potential due to a rigid curriculum and outdated teaching methods. It highlights how decades of reforms and blame directed at teachers and parents have yielded minimal improvement. The author argues that the entrenched concepts of curriculum, teaching, and organization create a powerful triad that prevents meaningful internal reform, leaving the system ill-equipped to address the complexities of contemporary life.
