"~~I finished reading Gauld's book last night. I did, indeed, enjoy it very much. He has established a project of great significance to the future of American education. There is too much to be said as to the structure of his school approach to outline here. A few things tand out for me: "the growth of students parallels the growth of their teachers;" "growth, not grades, is the true measure of human development and the best predictor of how a student will fare upon 'graduating' into life;" students undergo 'dysystematization,' " a process by which we help students rid themselves of the unproductive habits and attitudes learned in the system." For an explanation of the latter statement, the book is worth a read alone.
~~My only disagreement with Gauld is to see "the mother as the spiritual cornerstone of the family." Leaving Dad to one side, on the "outs," is to deny a child a very forceful and life-long relationship that will have an equal, and lasting, "spiritual" influence. Also, this view, I believe, does nothing more than foster sterotypes and creates indirect harm for all around.
~~Overall, though, I was very pleased. Now, I will turn to the follow-up "The Biggest Job We'll Ever Have.""
