The Need for Critics

Alan C. Purves Albany State University

Abstract

Yes, education is a national issue, but it is also a danger. When I look all these books about how to teach, I have the impression that children are being used as fodder for testing, that the aim is not to educate them, but to bring them up as if they were frogs or guinea pigs for psychologists. This is dreadful. Poor young people! What they have to go through because of these books! They are trained like performing animals. (Unamuno, 1993, p.42) There are two things I cannot stand: pedagogy and sociology. The former must be replaced by art and the latter by history. (Unamuno, 1993, p. 42)
