Title: And so, to where has it all brought us ?
Review: Over the course of her twenty-five year career in education ! ! ! What progress have we seen?Are we now reading better? Are we now doing better for the children than in the past when only the 'BASICS' were taught. Well, YES! If you don't count actually being able to read as a requisite part of the assesment.Does anyone in the education profession even consider the idea that with all of the 'programs' that have been instituted over the last 40 years, we have attained a LOWER literacy rate in this country?Look at the content of the 'Weekly Reader' and 'outh's Companion' of previous generations and explain why activities that were ENJOYED by Early Teens (who were taught only the 'basics') are for today's College Student tedious, seemingly irrelevant, and, frankly, beyond their comprehension.
