New Yorker
When I went to the University of Illinois, in the late Fifties, attending the Education College there was considered a complete waste of time. And this fit in with my time in High School - I hated the experience, and the teachers. And they hated me.
This article is about educational experiments in New York City. An exotic world as far removed from the MidWest I was raised in, as it was possible to get.
It is also a primer on the two educational philosophies in American education - traditionalism and progressivism.
Every American parent ought to read it.
