How Did We Miss This One?

Peter Wood tells how he shut down the School of Education at King's College in New York City. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

As a student in the "education" program at UNC, I completely agree with Wood. The classes are all based upon the idea of active, exploratory learning, in which the students teach themselves. Kumbaya! Yay. (This is especially painful after my 400-level history course with Dr. Tootle (Stephen to most of you).) You should see the looks of disgust I get when I mention that I am actually going to lecture (!) in my classes when I teach.

I'm in this program for the piece of paper they'll give me in the end. I'm in too deep to give up now, so I just have to sludge my way through this mess and hope that I emerge with some sanity.
