nerd teacher [books] commented on The Stolen Year by Anya Kamenetz
So much of what she writes can be easily broken down if you know even a glimmer of US history with regards to: child labour laws, the introduction of birth certificates, and the introduction of compulsory schooling. She wants to make some kind of point without any of that contextualisation, which is ludicrous.
This woman writes as if she believes that she's the modern day Mother Jones, which is pretty funny. Also, this book is so sparse on info in a lot of places that I haven't stopped feeling like it was a "make a quick buck on the pandemic topic" book.
