I'm reading chapter two right now and its description of behaviourism is just completely wrong. It also keeps giving examples of "wrong" ways to do things without actually justifying those judgements or providing examples of the "right" ways to do them instead. Like "rote learning has no place in school mathematics" - well how do you learn to count, add or multiply without rote learning? Serious question; I don't have the first clue, and this book seemingly has no interest in enlightening me.
