9780557946808: 126 Falsehoods We Believe About Education

Synopsis

126 Falsehoods We Believe About Education was inspired by the popular Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names list. The idea behind the genre is that there are certain assumptions within every field that folks in that field know are not true, and yet those same folks act as if they are true. These Falsehoods run rampant in our US Education System and we're naming them in this honest, sometimes snarky, definitely playful examination of what educators say they believe about learning AND what they actually do.
