This is a good article that discusses traditional vs. progressive education:

This is an opinionated article because the author is greatly in favor of the traditional form of education. He believes that progressivism has much more potential for failure rather than actual progress.

Hirsch gives compelling quantitative research to support his Marxist views on education. He also makes a good argument for dispelling the over-simplified and misleading "either-or" perspective of what Hirsh refers to as the "typical progressivist". I think Dewey would agree with him.
Hmmm. . . what makes you think Hirsch is a Marxist?
Excellent link. What are some of the similarities and differences between Dewey and Hirsch?
