The Knowledge Deficit illuminates the real issue in education today
-- without an effective curriculum, American students are losing
the global education race. In this persuasive book, the esteemed
education critic, activist, and best-selling author E.D. Hirsch,
Jr., shows that although schools are teaching the mechanics of
reading, they fail to convey the knowledge needed for the more
complex and essential skill of reading comprehension. Hirsch
corrects popular misconceptions about hot issues in education, such
as standardized testing, and takes to task educators' claims that
they are powerless to overcome class differences. Ultimately, this
essential book gives parents and teachers specific tools for
enhancing children's abilities to fully understand what they read.
