Inside the Secret Garden: The Progressive Decay of Liberal Education

2012 | Education

Despite unprecedented increases in education spending, standards are plummeting, and at least 20% of our children can't even read. Tom Burkard shows how an intellectually misguided elite - claiming to be experts in child development and psychology - have subverted the will of the people and used our children as guinea pigs in a grand "experiment" that has gone horribly wrong. Tom Burkard highlights the central paradox of progressive education - that despite the professed aim of creating a more democratic society it would be almost impossible to design a system better suited to perpetrating both class divisions and the gulf between the have and have-nots.
