E.D. HIRSCH: · THE KNOWLEDGE DEFICIT
"The knowledge deficit is a failure of social justice (and) the consequence of good intentions serving inadequate ideas."

Quote from Andrew Nikiforuk's "If learning is so natural, why am I in school?" "Barbara Bateman is one of the continent's leading authorities on "academic child abuse," the "use of practices that cause unnecessary failure in foundation skills and knowledge areas. When school boards ignore the research that identifies how to teach virtually all children, they engage in abuse."
