How do you know what you don't know unless you figure it out?

I Switched To Century Old Textbooks And This Happened (Ep 152)​

After years of researching education history, I decided to try something radical: teaching my children with textbooks from the 1800s and early 1900s. In this episode, I share the surprising results, the books we're using, and why these simple, straightforward resources may hold lessons modern education has forgotten.

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, Revised and Abridged Edition by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt​

Welcome to the "little edition" of the "big book"--the deliberate dumbing down of america: A Chronological Paper Trail. Since the original publication of the 743-page, 8-1/2"x11" tome, readers have requested a smaller, lighter version. This new version is in response to those many requests. The afterword, glossary, resources, appendices and index have all been removed from the 2011 version. Of utmost importance is the addition of "Update" which covers the final, but long-planned, institutionalization, since publication of the original book in 1999, of three activities, relatively new to the reader: (1) the use of unconstitutional tax-supported (public/private partnership) charter schools run by unelected boards. These schools use non-graded Skinnerian computer instruction to train for the planned economy (school to work); (2) global values-changing education, including International Baccalaureate programs and (3) restructuring of our nation's representative governmental structure, using regionalism (socialism) with its unelected councils (soviets), and communitarianism.

New math drives me crazy, what a crappy idea...

It's designed to make you dumber than you already are....

One time I showed 6th graders how to do long division and they were amazed at its simplicity....

Actually only two students understood it. The rest were otherwise engaged in playing hide and seek.
