I am the last person to say education should be dominated by economics. That said, people who write about education should nonetheless know some economics, even if they think it's all voodoo and propaganda. Brad DeLong offers a service with two posts (What Do Econ 1 Students Need to Remember Most from the Course? and What Do Econ 1 Students Need to Remember Second Most from the Course?) that help give people the basics of economic theory. You don't have to believe any of this. But you have to know it, because the people who manage education believe it, or at least part of it. And economics has some basis in fact, so it shouldn't be discounted entirely.
