Misstating research on learning (5.00 / 1) (#182)

is dangerous, as you state -- that's exactly what happened with the research that the Rev. Wright used  in the speech.  Here's one example of how the research was misused.  It's from a long book that really can't be restated so simplistically -- or extrapolated to mean so much more than what it theorized, and only only theorized as a starting point, and several decades ago now.  So it has altered education since, and in many good ways, but this speech wasn't about progress made.

The study continues to be used, because it was an important book, but only if used in careful context that attempts to go no farther than the author did.
