Questionable Assumptions About Schooling

This readnig was very interesting and informative. It brings to light certain practices which are thought to be the best in maintaining both schools and classrooms, but in reality are outdated. Different approaches towards these ideals are offered in a clear way that shows that the old ideas may continue to a certain extent, but must be majorly upgraded first. I especially agree with the point made on artistry in teaching. Teaching is not entirely rooted in scientific knowledge. It must also involve a level of creativity and imagination, otherwise the children in these classes would only know of facts and numbers, and would leave their schools as carbon copies of their fellow classmates.
