Yet generally they center on issues that do not truly reflect on the core problem. Namely, that it isn't about money or class size or styles of learning. None of these address the real trouble: the way we educate our young is wrong at its very core, in its central philosophy. There is too much emphasis on feel-good pop psychology and not enough on the actual purpose of education: that we might make our children into individuals who can think and do for themselves. Who will have their souls as much as their intelligence fed. This book points out the folly of how we teach and explains why we won't solve the problems with education without altering its basic structure of beliefs.
