| As a school principal I was always convinced that our teaching methods and our way of acculturation, that we all refer to as our school system required risk taking and experimentation (Our system of education is that in name only because our schools are publicly funded and socially controlled, the process, the attitudes and value structure, is far more then 70% related to the perceived needs of the society and its use of the school system to address those needs.) Therefore, as a principal I felt it was my responsibility to never lose sight of the need to devote some of my time and that of my students towards research and explorations of alternative means of learning that might serve the student better and reach a better compromise between the need for intellectual development and socio-economic-political training. | |||
