Sadly the Fullanites and Ben Levin are in charge here-time for a debate?

A few parents up in arms would assist the mass indoctrination of this ridiculous idea,“child centered learning.”

More like ,pass the buck!

When we get them on a talk show,just listen to the edubabble.

More on the Fullanites and Levinites

An example

On the CEA site -  The Case for not Teaching Grammar

“Unfortunately, Neufeld?s brief history of composition is not only simplistic but also incorrect, most significantly in his confusion of personal-growth pedagogy (better known as expressivism) with process pedagogy, two approaches that are in many ways incompatible. As a result, while the criticisms of Neufeld and Budra apply pretty well to expressivism, they apply not at all to process pedagogy. And when the subject is expressivism, I?ll borrow the stick from Budra and Neufeld and take a few whacks myself. Expressivism did not originate in 1966 but a century before in British Romanticism and American Transcendentalism: ?To believe that what is true for you is true for all men,? writes Emerson, ?that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense.?[3] In its purest form, expressivist pedagogy rejects process because expressivists value one?s first thoughts, straight from the writer within and uncorrupted by stifling concerns about audience or rhetorical purpose. Students do freewriting exercises to access their authentic voices and those inspired first thoughts, and write intimately in their journals. To its credit, expressivism honours a student?s subjectivity. But to its serious discredit, it completely solipsizes writing, removing it from the world of action and communication to the inner world of the writer?s mind.”

I hope the readers are still reading this, because the above quote of extreme edubabble, is the premise why students should not be taught grammar,

Hunter is absolutely correct in his premise that child centered learning harms the students.
“He argues this philosphy of teaching, pervasive throughout North America as well as the UK, is not working especially for the most vulnerable students.”

The Fullanites, the Levinites, and their disciples such as the Zwagermanites don’t care about the outcomes of students, much less the classroom teachers. And the Zwagermanites of the world just don’t care, unless it is one of his own kids who becomes a victim of child-center learning and its many philosophies of non-rational thought.

Oh well, I did learn another term that is probably used a lot my the education gurus of education faculties.

“Expressivism is a form of moral anti-realism or nonfactualism: the view that there are no moral facts that moral sentences describe or represent, and no moral properties or relations to which moral terms refer. Expressivists deny constructivist accounts of moral facts ? e.g. Kantianism ? as well as realist accounts ? e.g. ethical intuitionism.[3]
Because expressivism claims that the function of moral language is not descriptive, it allows the irrealist to avoid an error theory: the view that ordinary moral thought and discourse is committed to deep and pervasive error, and that all moral statements make false ontological claims.[4]”

Dangerous are the expressivists, and other like education theories that strives for lowering the bar in the society of the 21st century.

“A few parents up in arms would assist the mass indoctrination of this ridiculous idea,?child centered learning.?

The very silence by too many parents tells me that indoctrination has already occurred, long ago and continues.

Where ARE parents today?
