Hirsch, E.D. (2016).Why knowledge matters: Rescuing our children from failed educational theories. Boston: Harvard Education Press. ISBN: 978-1-61250-952-5 (approximately $30.00-35.00). “Why knowledge matters addresses critical issues in contemporary education in education reform and shows how truisms about education and child development have lead to negative and unintended consequences. Drawing on recent findings from neuroscience and data from France, Hirsch provides new evidence for the argument that a carefully planned knowledge-based elementary curriculum is essential in providing the foundations for children’s life successes and ensuring equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds.
