Description
Summary:Discusses the demise of educational progressivism and the influence of Howard Gardner's views regarding intelligence and education of elite, private education. Highlights Gardner's new progressive educational ideology and notes the potential dark side of the revival of progressive ideas among elite schools (the more private schools abolish grades and tests, the harder it will be for disadvantaged students to enroll).
