The way we are taught infoms our sense of identity and culture more than the content of what is taught. I don't suppose that's controversial, though in some circles it might be. But as we see in this post from Larry Cuban, the content is barely registering, even if it's what's needed to pass standardized exams. "Nothing much was expected of the students beyond textbook and worksheet answers... the values, rituals, and habits favored the least amount of academic work possible." Except for football.
