Popular Culture: Speaking their language
 
 
Popular Education and its Discontents by Lawrence A. Cremin 1990
The Cacophony of Teaching

"The electronic environment makes an information level outside the schoolroom that is far higher
than the information level inside the schoolroom.  In the nineteenth century the knowledge inside
the schoolroom was higher than knowledge outside the schoolroom.  Today it is reversed.  The
child knows that in going to school he is in a sense interrupting his education."

H. Marshall McLuhan
