Publisher's Synopsis
""The Restoration of Learning: A Program for Redeeming the Unfulfilled Promise of American Education"" is a book written by Arthur Eugene Bestor that seeks to address the shortcomings of American education and provide a plan for its restoration. Bestor argues that the education system has become too focused on vocational training and neglects the importance of a well-rounded education that includes the humanities, sciences, and liberal arts. He also critiques the overemphasis on standardized testing and the lack of emphasis on critical thinking and creativity in the classroom. The book proposes a program for restoring the promise of American education, which includes a renewed emphasis on the classics, a return to a more traditional curriculum, and a focus on developing critical thinking skills. Bestor also advocates for the importance of the teacher-student relationship and the need for teachers to be experts in their subject matter. Overall, ""The Restoration of Learning"" provides a thoughtful analysis of the problems facing American education and offers a compelling vision for how to address them. It is a must-read for anyone interested in education reform and improving the quality of education in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
