CONSPIRACY OF IGNORANCE, THE (The Conspiracy of the Ignorant)

Author: Martin L. Gross
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Publication Date: 1999-09-01
Features: Problems because they make no attempt to challenge the Education Establishment's control. In a powerful Bill of Indictment, Mr. Gross shows how the teaching vocation, aided by its unions, maintains a self-perpetuating cycle of low performance, and he offers his own detailed prescription for change that will raise public education to the level our children-and society-need and deserve. The Conspiracy of Ignorance asks-and answers-the questions educators are afraid to ask. This book is desperately needed if American schoolchildren are to prosper in today's competitive world. Martin L. Gross is the New York Times bestselling author of The Government Racket, A Call for Revolution, and The Tax Racket, as well as The End of Sanity, The Brain Watchers, The Doctors, and The Psychological Society. He is the recipient of the NEA's School Bell Award, and has been a faculty member of the New School for Social Research and an adjunct associate professor of Social Science at New York University. He lives and works in Connecticut.
