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

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.

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.

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!

excellent

This book is a really good read for anyone interested in education in America.

The performance is also good
