Inside American Education

The Decline, The Deception, The Dogmas

De: Thomas Sowell

Narrado por: Malcolm Hillgartner

An indictment of the American educational system criticizes the fact that the system has discarded the traditional goals of transmitting knowledge and fostering cognitive skills in favor of building self-esteem and promoting social harmony.

I experienced some of this first hand.

the book is before its time and explains 2022 rather well.

So.... nothing much has changed

The publication date for this is from the 1990s. However I feel that a few 21st century items have been sprinkled in.
Problems with educational innovations, teachers unions, sex education, tenured profs, expensive college education and schools dismissing parents is nothing new. So not new that Sowell can dust off an old book and have it republished as a brand new audiobook.
The only thing new to me was "death education". Most of everything else has it's current year (2022) instances that pop up in the news.
The narrator is fine and the book is interesting enough to entertain, if you are into this sort of thing.

Fantastic!!

Eye opening, I knew our education was on decline, but we are in deep trouble. Mr Sowel did an outstanding job, explanating in detail what is happening and how to even fix the problem...

his research and data proving his findings.

I appreciate this education about American Education and believe it should be required reading.

Great insight and resonating with the education system of today

A great listen and very insightful information on the American education system. Highly recommend it to any parent or young adult considering college.
