Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality

With four simple truths as his framework, Charles Murray sweeps away the hypocrisy, wishful thinking, and upside-down priorities that grip America’s educational establishment. Ability varies. Children differ in their ability to learn academic material. Doing our best for every child requires, above all else, that we embrace that simplest of truths. America’s educational system does its best to ignore it.
