A review by rachelhelps
The Book of Learning and Forgetting by Frank Smith

2.0

I feel a love-hate thing going for the way this guy presents ideas. I am all for the ideal of effortless learning and making learning fun. But his demonization of technology and science really annoys me. I agree that psychological testing heavily influenced educational theory--but I don't think that means we need to disregard everything from psychology.

I like the idea of effortless, student-driven learning, but it would have been nice to see some evidence, even anecdotal.
