000770844 520__ $$aEducator E.D. Hirsch, Jr. addresses critical issues in contemporary education reform -- over-testing, teacher blaming, preschool fadeout, and the persistence of achievement gaps over time. In each case, he shows how cherished truisms about education and child development have led to unintended and negative consequences. Drawing on findings in neuroscience and data from France, he provides evidence for the argument that a coherent, knowledge-based elementary curriculum is essential to providing the foundations for children's life success and ensuring equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds.
