70 Years Ago, Schools Were Already Warped (Wed., March 27, 2024)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan Dunn, a schoolteacher, wrote a book about her experiences in Brooklyn schools circa 1953. It is a time capsule, showing that quite long ago the professors of education had substantially wrecked everything they touched.
I love this book. It’s a grand statement by a very smart sensitive person. Joan Dunn’s description of public schools appeared 70 years ago but already the public schools were a disaster, a crime scene, an intellectual slum.
(Book's full title is Retreat From Learning: Why Teachers Can't Teach. Not easy to find so I'm happy to tell you that it's on Archive.org )
