Joan Dunn taught in Brooklyn Public schools for a few years around 1953. She recognized at that time that our public schools were compromised and probably finished.
She wrote a book titled Retreat From Learning: Why Teachers Can't Teach (available on Archive.org.)
This is not a research paper. This is not a reconstruction of what happened more than 70 years ago. Joan Dunn was there, as an eager young teacher, very smart, highly idealistic and motivated. Her story is one of confronting a monster, and slowly, painfully realizing she could not win against it.

LET'S FIX EDUCATION, Episode 140, Bruce Deitrick Price
The Legacy of Rita Kramer (1929-2023)
and the Embarrassment Factor
In 1990 Rita Kramer toured the country to study the best ed schools. She was reporting on education for ABC, and had begun to suspect that American ed schools were more corrupted and indoctrinated than most people ever imagined.

I reviewed her book on Amazon in 2007; in 202 ..read more
