Communication: Not Taught In Schools
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. E. D. Hirsch, Jr. asserts that Americans lack the common knowledge that enables significant communication to take place and that the public schools are not teaching it; however, his is an unfashionable idea. For years, most educators have emphasized the learning process
and skills rather than an identifiable body of essential knowledge. While Hirsch's thesis might have some points of validity it does not take into consideration the extent to which contemporary educators are struggling just to teach the basics. Granted communication represents a primary tool
in the overall scheme of social survival, as well as a concept taught in school once upon a time; however, in today's precarious age it is imperative that public schools focus more upon the learning process and skills and hope to incorporate the attributes of communication.
