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.

Still relevant

I almost stopped listening when I realized the publish date but it's all still relevant in 2022

sowell at his finest

many Sowell's books repeat the same things. I was suprised how muxh new this book had. Style is free and snark has a bite. A great one.

A mandatory read for all parents

As a member of the Baby Boomers, and having decades as a Trainer and often time Adjunct Professor I regrettably choose to no longer engage with academia do the restrictions on how today’s curriculum dictates useless off subject materials to be discussed in the very limited time allocated to classroom hours.

Breaks down our failing education system on an atomic level.

I think this is a great read. Not out of touch, makes
fair arguments, and I think should be a mandatory read for all high school aged youth!

Still relevant

Although this book is almost 30 years old, it is still so relevant to todays education situation in America. Things are actually much worse now. If only our education leaders read this book and listened to Thomas Sowells wise words back then..
Beautifully written and very nicely read. Highly recommend
