Maybe it's just me, but this part doesn't make sense:

Joseph Jacotot, a post-Revolutionary philosopher of education who discovered that he could teach things he did not know (for instance, Jacotot taught Flemish students to speak French without speaking any Flemish himself).

That is not an example of someone teaching something he doesn't know. If he'd taught French students how to speak Flemish without knowing Flemish, yes.

Is this just a mistake, or something explained badly?
