[extropy-chat] here's how complicated it is

[Al Brooks]

What makes it even sadder is educators mean well but
they can't comprehend how a system that might work
well for tractor parts and deep frying vats at fast
food franchises doesn't work well for education. You
install a new clutch on a tractor and it works fine.
Install students in a motley classroom, with
disruptive behavior not uncommon, and you cannot
expect uniformly favorable results.
I talked with an old man who taught school in the
1940s and was very enthusiastic about education--
didn't have the heart to tell him today isn't 1949,
what worked when Truman was president doesn't
necessarily work now.
