The following is a menu of user-written commentary on education. Some of these
are papers written by former graduate students. If you have an idea for a contribution to
this menu, please e-mail Dr. Bob Kizlik
with your
idea. ADPRIMA will publish well-written, thoughtful papers in this section. You will
receive additional instructions when you contact Dr. Kizlik. I will say
this, though: looking at all the current (03-21-2014) furor about "improving
education" and education reform" and "failing schools" there is really very
little being proposed that is new and an improvement. The same things were being said back in the 1960s when I
became a teacher. What we are missing is an understanding of the
fundamentals, and that there are really no alternatives to good
teachers who are masters of their subject matter and who have both a passion
for teaching and the skills to make that passion pay off for their
students.. That's it. No shortcuts, gimmicks or magic bullets. In a sense,
that's what ADPRIMA is about. Enjoy.
