Summary

"Education: How Old The New" by James J. Walsh is a detailed book examining education, arguing that new ideas aren't really that new. The author talks about past traditions that are still used today. The writer sets the stage by discussing common misunderstandings about education, such as how modern education is more developed than past approaches. Walsh explains that important concepts have existed for centuries by using examples like "Instructions of Ptah Hotep". Walsh points out that older generations had advanced ways of teaching. This shows readers how old teaching systems can make our current methods better, encouraging teachers to learn from what happened before.
