Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses by Richard Arum
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a must read for any teacher — or anyone who wants to comment on the state of education. Fixing our schools has absolutely nothing to do with privatizing them. (In fact, private schools oftentimes remove standards because they need customers who don’t like doing the heavy lifting). Instead, we need to bring back rigor and standards to our classroom, demanding students put in the time and the work so they may think better!
