— Trends change too quickly, without the proper thought and experimenta- tion. By the time one new method is beginning to work, it’s changed for something new, thus re- sulting in confusion and lack of learning. — Education must al- ways change, to meet the needs of society, and to im- prove education. — “Back to the basics” movement and re-emphasis of 3 R’s is great.

— Work load of teachers is increasing both by class size and paper work. This does not indicate improvement in stu- dent learning! — Social development needs much less emphasis. Academic achievement is the purpose of the school. — Too often we change for the sake of changing. Many good ‘‘old-time’’ trends or methods are abandoned.
