Hardcover, by David Shaffer (Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the departments of Educational Psychology and Curriculum and Instruction). What do students really learn in schools? A lot of the time, it’s not the stuff that we really want them to learn. It’s usually things like “how to ace standardized multiple choice tests without studying”, or maybe “how to stay sane while learning irrelevant and outdated facts”, or perhaps “how to appear awake while sitting upright and keeping your eyes open while simultaneously being fast asleep”.
