Why Johnny’s Teacher Can’t Teach

by Heather Mac Donald, from Spring 1998, here. It's a great article and goes well with some of my favorite educational history books such as Richard Mitchell's Gift of Fire and The Graves of Academe; The War Against Grammar, by David Mulroy; and Who Killed Homer, by Victor Davis Hanson.

Schooling was bad in 1998, thanks to the liberalism of the Carter, Reagan, and Clinton administrations. It is worse now, and if the current barrel of monkeys is any indicator, the future looks dark indeed.
