What's Worth Learning? addresses the central question of general
education. For learners facing a complex, unpredictable, and
dangerous future, it asks and answers the question: What knowledge
is absolutely essential for every learner? In simple, jargon-free
language, the book explains why the "core curriculum" in
near-universal use in America's classrooms was poor when it was
adopted in 1893 and why it grows more dysfunctional with each
passing year. It then shows how, without changes in staffing,
budgets, or bureaucratic boundaries, knowledge can be organized to
both radically improve learner intellectual performance and
significantly decrease the cost of a general education. Recognizing
the difficulty of translating a new idea into classroom
instruction, an appendix offers a comprehensive, classroom-tested
course of study suitable for adolescents and older students.
