EDUCATIONAL PANACEAS

                                                   EDUCATIONAL PANACEAS

I have been collecting these for a number of years. Each time a new administration appears at the state or federal level, we have a new panacea. Many of these programs are not worth the paper that they are printed on. However, there are a few that do work. However, when the new administration comes in, a whole new set of panaceas appears. Do you wonder why school people are skeptical about modernity?
