War Against the Schools' Academic Child Abuse

by Siegfried Engelmann

4/5

Engelmann takes on the American education system in this hard-hitting critique, detailing his involvement in Project Follow Through — the largest educational experiment ever conducted — and how the results proving Direct Instruction's superiority were buried by the establishment. A passionate argument that failing schools are committing academic child abuse by refusing to adopt proven teaching methods.
