Educational Wastelands
definition: In 1952, Arthur Bestor, a professor of history at the University of Illinois, submitted a series of resolutions to the American Historical Association contending that educational theorists and school administrators devised programs of teacher training that degraded academic subjects. A year later, Bestor published these complaints in his book Educational Wastelands. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; Educational Wastelands]
