Are knowledge and facts no longer relevant?

Review of "Seven Myths about Education," by Daisy Christodoulou (London: The Curriculum Centre, 2013; 978-0-9575919-0-5; available from Amazon in Hardcover, $147.25; Paperback, $23.24; and Kindle edition, $14.55).

In her first book, Daisy Christodoulou argues that much of what teachers are taught about education is wrong and that they are encouraged to teach in ineffective ways. Her arguments are based on her experience teaching English in a secondary school in London; on an examination of education research, especially in cognitive science; on education philosophy (e.g., Rousseau, Dewey, Freire); and on publications put out by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) to advise teachers. Her book is as relevant to an understanding of the educational issues currently roiling the U.S. as it is to current educational issues in England.
