Long ago, a wise friend told me that 90% of education research is bullshit. As I mature, I realize that estimate is far too modest. Social media and the nonsense masquerading as education journalism have become inundated with a flaming brown paper bag full of articles out to prove that phonics[1]<\/a>and penmanship instruction[2]<\/a>are crucial 21st<\/sup>Century skills[3]<\/a>, class size does not matter[4]<\/a>[5]<\/a>, constructivism is a failed pedagogical strategy[6]<\/a>, there are no learning styles[7]<\/a>, not everyone \u201cneeds to code,\u201d[8]<\/a>all kids need to be above the norm[9]<\/a>[10]<\/a>, and that standardized testing is objective, reliable, and valid[11]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you believe any of these things, then I would love to tell you that the Common Core State [education] Standards were \u201cwritten by the nation\u2019s governors.\u201d No seriously; they expect us to believe that crap. I for one would love to see Chris Christie\u2019s notes from his curriculum development meetings. \u201cTime for some BrainPop on the GW Bridge!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When brightly colored infographics and Venn diagrams with nothing in the intersection of the rings fail to convince you to panic, the purveyors of hysteria wave their interactive white board pen and recite the magic word, \u201cSCIENCE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

SCIENCE is the new FINLAND!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Wish to justify the curious epidemic of learning disabilities, just yell, \u201cSCIENCE!\u201d Want to medicate kids when your curriculum fails to sedate them? SCIENCE! Care to cut salaries and slash electives? SCIENCE will prove that playing the bassoon will never get you a high-paying job at Google passing out t-shirts at tradeshows like the niece of your mom\u2019s hairdresser. (Someone should set that last paragraph to music. Lin-Manuel, call me!<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the ISIS-like fanaticism defending phonics or penmanship systems, two recent \u201cstudies\u201d reveal the quality of SCIENCE rushing through the body education like sugar-free gummy bears. \u201cStudy Shows Classroom Decor Can Distract From Learning<\/a>,\u201d about the value of bare walls on kindergartener\u2019s recall, and \u201cKids perform better during boring tasks when dressed as Batman<\/a>.\u201d No, seriously. Those are real. Someone undoubtedly earned an EdD and parking space at Southern North Dakota Community College for such drivel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mere stench of SCIENCE associated with such studies goes unchallenged and serves as fantastic clickbait for a myriad of school discipline conventions. (Seriously, this is a real thing.) Why doesn\u2019t anyone ask why babies are taking bubble tests or should be subjected to ugly classrooms? Surely, the National Science Foundation is funding replication studies to determine if five-year-olds dressed as Superman or Queen Elsa are more easily tricked into wasting their formative years on meaningless tasks? [12]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just isn\u2019t sufficiently SCIENTIFIC for children to enjoy happy, healthy, creative, productive, and playful childhoods. Move along young Batman. Nothing to see here. Wet your pants again? You might be dyslexic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCIENCE is only ever used to sustain the mythology or comfort of adults. The only time educators are ever asked to provide \u201cevidence\u201d is to justify something kids like \u2013 laptops, recess, band, making things…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The burden of proof is quite different for defending the status quo. What was the last time you heard anyone ask for evidence to support homework, 42-minute class periods, Algebra II, AP classes, textbooks, worksheets, times tables, interactive white boards, or the countless forms of coercion, humiliation, and punishment visited on students daily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know where else you find very little actual science? In Science class where the vast majority of the curriculum is concerned with vocabulary memorization or historical reenactments and very few students do <\/em>science by engaging in the habits of a scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a recent gathering, three generations of people shared what they remembered from their high school science classes. The most vivid memories consisted of starting fires, causing explosions, noxious fumes, throwing test tubes out a window while exclaiming, \u201cI\u2019m Zeus,\u201d or killing things (plants, the class rat, time). In SCIENTIFIC terms, 0.000000003% of the official science curriculum is retained after Friday\u2019s quiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way of providing nutrients to the sod of education rhetoric is to sprinkle highfalutin terms like, metacognition, everywhere. This form of scientism<\/a> takes a little understood concept and demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of it as a vehicle for justifying more memorization, teacher compliance, or producing the illusion of student agency. Don\u2019t even get me started about the experts incapable of discerning the difference between teaching and learning or the bigshots who think learning is a noun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free advice: Forbes, the McKinsey Group, anyone associated with Clayton Christensen, TED Talks and EdSurge are not credible sources on education reform, pedagogy, or learning theory even if they accidentally confirm our own biases once in a while. They are libertarian hacks hell-bent on dismantling public education. It is also a good rule of thumb to steer clear of any source containing \u201cED<\/em>,\u201d \u201ctopia<\/em>,\u201d \u201cmentum<\/em>,\u201d \u201cvation<\/em>,\u201d \u201cmind<\/em>,\u201d \u201cbrain<\/em>,\u201d \u201cinstitute<\/em>,\u201d or \u201cology<\/em>\u201d in their title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you get right down to it, many of the questionable educational practices seeking justification from SCIENCE seek to promote simplistic mechanical models of complex processes that are in actuality much harder to distill or even impossible to comprehend. To those seeking to justify phonics instruction, a simple input-output diagram is preferable to the more likely hypothesis that reading is natural. Learning is not the direct result of having been taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Note:<\/strong> This is a deliberate provocation intended to challenge a phenomenon in education rather than engage in a hot-tempered battle of dueling research studies. Don\u2019t bother to ask me for evidence to support my claims since I\u2019m trading in common sense and honestly do not care if you agree with me. Seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are studies widely available to validate my outrageous blather, but I am under no obligation to identify them for you unless you grant me a cushy tenure track position, medical insurance, and a pension. If this article upsets you, my powers of persuasion are inadequate to change your mind anyway.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Endnotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[1]<\/a>If everyone learns to read through the direct instruction of a fixed sequence 43 different sounds, how do you explain students learning to read in China, Japan, Israel or any other language without phonemes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[2]<\/a>These studies always \u201cprove\u201d the importance of medieval chores by pointing to test score increases (memorization). How many children are misdiagnosed with learning disabilities for confusing the ability to express themselves (writing) with the way in which they use a pencil (writing)? If penmanship is so precious, teach it in art class as a craft or as a PE activity prior to the prehistoric high school IB exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[3]<\/a>I refrain from citing the pernicious and ubiquitous \u201cstudies\u201d I mock with such utter contempt because I do not wish to give them any more oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[4]<\/a>See the amoral work of John Hattie. He also determined that desegregation doesn\u2019t matter for student achievement. Basic concepts of right and wrong are of no consequence for such purveyors of SCIENCE<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[6]<\/a>Constructivism is not a pedagogical trick, it is a scientific learning theory. Those who doubt constructivism are like flat earthers or climate change deniers. Science has nothing to do with their beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
