Excerpt from Educational Broth
It is the author's hope that this book, in spite of its evident lack of consecutiveness, will be read by all those who have at heart the highest educational interests of our country. Although very few Americans deny the supreme import ance of education, an astonishingly large num ber are dominated by educational superstitions and fetiches, which they supinely accept as law and gospel. The present grotesquely absurd ex amination system, the prevalent marking sys tem, the exaltation of the letter at the expense of the spirit in so many of the most common methods of teaching, may be instanced as illus trations of some of the evils which the author wishes to combat.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an experienced teacher, argues that rote-learning and examination-style teaching methods stifle creativity and critical thinking. The author highlights how ill-suited the current exam system is and discusses the many negatives of a system overly reliant on testing. The potential value of team-work and collaboration in the classroom is explored and the author makes the case for Latin as a universally accessible language that would benefit from adoption as the 'language of scholarship'. Salary equity and the proper recognition of teachers as public benefactors are discussed alongside reform of the diploma system - with the suggestion that a more accurate reflection of subjects studied and proficiency levels would better suit all stakeholders. The book also makes the case for broadening the range of subjects available to students and discusses the need to include more information on practical skills like accounting and public speaking.
