Excerpts from
The Knowledge Gap have appeared in
The Atlantic,
Chalkbeat, and
MindShift.
In
Education Next, Robert Pondiscio says
The Knowledge Gap makes "a first-rate case for content." Reviewing the book for
Quillette, Greg Ashman says it "pulsates with vivid detail as it winds its way through the strange terrain of the Educational Upside Down. Anyone who seeks to understand the quixotic state of educational ideas in American schools and beyond should place it on the top of their summer reading list." And writing for the British publication
tes, Daisy Christodoulou says: "Is it possible to create a more inclusive and fairer education system?
The Knowledge Gap shows the way."
In a starred review,
Library Journal calls
The Knowledge Gap a "compelling work" that "pinpoints the underlying issues that plague the American public education system."
Publishers Weekly says the book is "illuminating," "thought-provoking," and "well-supported." And
Kirkus Reviews says it's "a compelling critique of American elementary schools" that "highlights pervasive problems."
