Progressive Education: Why It's Hard to Beat, But Also Hard to Find
by Alfie Kohn, Spring 2008
Reading this powerful article by Alfie Kohn in August 2009, made me realize how the focus during this past decade on No Child Left Behind, high-stakes testing and now the emergence of National Standards has substantially diverted the dialogue away from the critical issue of what kind of schools we really want for our children. Hope the following article will inspire us not to be side tracked by the number crunchers and Edu-Babblers.
