How the “industrial era schools” myth is a barrier to helping education today
Sherman Dorn, 2018/03/22
When I went to school in the 1970s the school was experimenting with small classes, open concept classes, electives, and a bunch of other things. Yes, I am a benmeficiary of progressive education.
