review 1: James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me" is perhaps one of the most important books that people of conscious could read today and have in their library (next to Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States"). In this book, Loewen gives us more material to fight in these culture wars that are becoming so important today in the midst of the fear mongering and regressive politics of fear that is gripping some very vocal and very angry segments of American society.
review 2: Snappy, to the point, engaging and immediately useful! Encouraging to see that many things I do are already on the right track and helpful to get some ideas for stretching myself and my students. Also some good arguments to use with resistant parents. Biggest surprise, loewen mentions... more the idea of having an advanced and regular stream within the same class! I am not alone in thinking this can be beneficial and worthwhile!! less
