Ar Amerika atsisakė žinių mokyklose? | David Steiner

“You can’t think critically about nothing in particular.” Dr David Steiner of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy on why American schools traded knowledge for skills, and what the states that turned their results around did differently. In this episode of The Right Mind (Dešinysis protas), David Steiner, former New York State Commissioner of Education and author of A Nation at Thought, argues that wisdom in schools rests on three things: knowledge, ethics and aesthetic appreciation. He explains why the quality of the teacher in the classroom matters more than any policy, how local property taxes deepen inequality between districts, and why the reforms that work in Mississippi, Louisiana and Massachusetts survived changes of government.
