"This is an excellent reference for what education should be. The authors' politics do come through and although they don't match mine, I found some of the differences refreshing. Rather than undermine the points made, they give some good balance to some of the other materials I have been reading.
The author is very specific about defending the idea that we must teach children certain information as part of their education. If that sounds obvious, it's in response to the idea that learning "how to learn" is more important than learning facts. The author balances these two ideas well.
He continually returns to the idea that education must be rigorous and exciting, challenging and inspiring - not just one or the other.
The prose sections are highly readable and thought-provoking. The lists are useful for future reference."
"This is among my stacks of books I use to add to what my children learn in school. Our public school is lacking greatly in educating our children. This book gives some idea on when and what children should learn."
