Critique of Pure Education

<p>Pure education prepares students to be statesmen for central state and local governments the finest scholars for colleges and universities and other leaders in society. Many of the fine merits of this book center on revealing the actual foundation of American schools and supporting a comprehensive view of instruction that transmits ideas and not just processes. This book plainly explains why there is no excellence in American schools and provides a blueprint for students to rise above mediocrity. According to the author pure education exists only in a familial context where students are considered unique. Since they ignore the unique gifts of individual children and promote the idea of the average student the public schools do not educate but merely create uniformly trained workers for the power elite in America. If education is to survive in America then home schools must be equipped with this vital critique to provide explicit substance while complementing parental instincts.</p><p>Included as an appendix in this third edition of <em>Critique of Pure Education</em> is a thought-provoking essay about education in the United States titled The Educator and Cultural Reclamation written by Dr. James E. Kibler author poet and professor of Southern literature at the University of Georgia Athens.</p><p><strong><em>Parents who are concerned about the proper education for their children must read this book because the well-being of their children depends upon it.</em></strong></p>
