Nothing new under the sun …
Or so says Bud Hunt in a recent blog post wherein he quotes a number of passages from A Schoolmaster of the Great City by Angelo Patri, written in 1917. I’ll have to add this book to my “to be read” list on GoodReads. Take a look at Bud’s post to see what Patri had to say, almost a hundred years ago, about education and the challenges of teaching. It looks like it could have been written by any of us teaching today. It makes me think that the old Marxist chestnut about the struggle (not the end product) being the point of work is still very much on target for educators.
