Hero of the week- John Goodlad

" the function of schools today appears to be more to sort the young for their place in society than to educate them for productive, responsible, satisfying participation in it" John Goodlad. John is my new best friend. He has a web site click here.

Here's another quote: "And we, the people, appear to understand that the linchpin of this aprrenticeship (in democracy) is a qualified, caring, competent teacher in every classroom"

Of course, you know that my hero will be someone new next week ( as I learn more about this education thang) sorry John. I hope we can still be friends.
