Carl Rodgers
and Dave Maslow, who were used really as the religious text for psychologizing a
classroom for years. At the end of both of those men's lives, they repudiated
their life's work.
That is a pointed foreshadowing of the massive Ritalin
interventions which would accompany the student body of the future.
Schools were conceived to serve the economy and the
social order rather than kids and families -- that is why it is compulsory.
Managing
children is what professional childcare is about in America. Schools are part of
the professional child care empire and education has nothing whatsoever to do
with it.
chool is a place where children learn to dislike each other
Those of you who took rat psychology in college will
know what I'm referring to -- just like the experience of rat psychology, the
bizarre behavior kids display is a function of the reinforcement schedule in the
confinement of schooling to a large degree. I'm certain of that. Children like
this need extensive management.
to
realize the potential in machinery and fossil fuel, that the bulk of the
population would have to be dumbed down and made dependent -- not to hurt people
-- but because only in this fashion could a population of producers, which
surely characterizes the American scene then, be turned into the consumers
required by a commercially intense economy.
Schools would serve as "instruments of managed evolution, establishing
conditions for selective breeding before the masses take things into their own
hands"
certain kinds of mental training in history, in philosophy, in rhetoric, for
instance, made students resistant to manipulation because it developed
independent intellect, it reduced their plasticity.
n our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our
molding hands. The present education conventions of intellectual and character
education fade from their minds and unhampered by tradition we work our own good
will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people
or any of their children into men of learning or philosophers, or men of
science. We have not to raise up from them authors, educators, poets or men of
letters, great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors,
(he's really covering the whole gamut of employment isn't he?)
statesmen, politicians, creatures of whom we have ample supply (whoever the pronoun we is meant
to stand for there). The task is simple. We will organize children and teach
them in an perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an
imperfect way".

More John Gotto--his speech as he accepted the Teacher of the Year award. Written in 1990, but spot on today.

Dewey said the great mistake of traditional pedagogy was to make
reading and writing constitute the bulk of early schoolwork.
New York State, for
instance, employs more school administrators than all of the European
Economic Community nations combined.
In modern society,
said Dewey, people would be defined by their associations--not by
their own individual accomplishments. It such a world people who
read too well or too early are dangerous because they become privately
empowered, they know too much, and know how to find out what they
don't know by themselves, without consulting experts
rederich Froebel, the inventor of kindergarten in 19th century
Germany, fashioned his idea he did not have a "garden for children"
in mind, but a metaphor of teachers as gardeners and children as
the vegetables.
Kindergarten was created to be a way to break the
influence of mothers on their children.
Violence, narcotic addictions, divorce,
alcoholism, loneliness...all these are but tangible measures of
a poverty in education.
I heard a
vice-president of IBM tell an audience of people assembled to redesign
the process of teacher certification that in his opinion this country
became computer-literate by self-teaching, not through any action
of schools. He said 45 million people were comfortable with computers
who had learned through dozens of non-systematic strategies, none
of them very formal; if schools had pre-empted the right to teach
computer use we would be in a horrible mess right now instead of
leading the world in this literacy.

But assignments in Michael Wesch's anthropology classes at Kansas State University have been seen around the world and by as many as 1.5 million other people.
The video is up for a YouTube award for most inspirational video of 2007.
The other video assignment is more research-based, Wesch said.
the students' work gets exposure in a way that traditional classroom assignments don't.
Bohannon's video skills led to a job with Diigo, an online research tool that's better explained through video than through words. That's why Diigo had Bohannon create a video to explain what it's all about. The video can be viewed at http://www.diigo.com/
"That gets at the complexity of today's media environment," Wesch said. "The students don’t advertise. They get the videos out on blogs, people start linking to them, and other people find them."

Characteristics of Information

A companion to the Vision of Students Today, done by the same anthropology class. Not as viral, clearly, but also very thought provoking. Students don't need us to provide information, they need us to teach them how to make knowledge of information.
