- There ought to be discussion of setting up laboratories for educational
- research.
-
- Education is the only research group who conducts its research on live
- subjects in live class rooms. I fear what the consequences are for the
- control group and for the unsuccessful experiments.
-
- I've been around long enough now to have seen a cycle too. The costs of
- these cycles is tremendous. We went from small community based schools to
- consolidated school districts..and now I hear the small community school
- is vogue again. It's great for the building trades, but reaks havoc on
- those of us who pay for it.
-
- Same for open classrooms...
- Phonetic reading...
- New math...
- Majoring on social studies....
- The trend to become a social agency... (loss of focus TQM#1)...
-
- When can we get back to majoring on the majors?
-
- IMHO of course...
