Old history teacher rant:

Old history teacher rant: The problem with American education is that to large degree it has not been American since about 1900. The American view was that education was a latter with the base on the ground and the top in the stars and one climbed as far as one could. But since about 1900 we started to copy the Euro class centered model .Vocational, commercial and academic and under other names in public education we still do. The idea is to keep you in your class and no mistake. I did NOT teach that way..one lesson for everyone and free tutoring if needed but the same test for all. I see faint sign faint but there that the younger teachers are getting back to that.
