The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats—lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about—the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualised reading comprehension \"skills\" at the expense of actual knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of Dale Russakoff's \u003cem\u003eThe Prize\u003c\/em\u003e and Dana Goldstein's \u003cem\u003eThe Teacher Wars\u003c\/em\u003e, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system—one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut \u003cem\u003eThe Knowledge Gap\u003c\/em\u003e isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong—it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along—students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658226127084,"sku":"9780735213562","price":41.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20835913482449.jpg?v=1752514035"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/natalie-wexley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
