Neither the issues raised nor the advice given are particular to sports and should be applicable to a wide range of knowledge domains.

The idea that education in America is deteriorating is emotionally charged and controversial. While there is no disputing that education levels in the United States continue to rise, there is also a pervasive notion that this was accomplished by gradually reducing the readability level and general difficulty of textbooks.
