Nadler, Richard. "Low Class." National Review 50.24 (1998): 31-32. Military & Government Collection. EBSCO. Web. 4 Mar. 2011.
Richard Nadler speaks against progressive learning, with focus on the poor and minorities. He speaks toward the importance of structure and a moral center in teaching for students who are not receiving either from home. Studies he referenced state that not only was a more didactically centered teaching experience better for youth’s well being, but it also yielded more desirable test results than that of progressive teaching. He makes a claim that progressive education is an elitist form of teaching and may leave minorities and the poor behind.
