Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFacts prevent understanding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTeacher-led instruction is passive\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe 21st century fundamentally changes everything\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYou can always just look it up\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWe should teach transferable skills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProjects and activities are the best way to learn\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTeaching knowledge is indoctrination\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice.
