The educationists devote so much ink and time to "strategies" and "methodologies" for professional development, technical assistance, "culture change," "sustainable innovation," research, evaluation, hardware and software issues, testing and assessments, and the implementation of fad upon fad, pilot program upon pilot program, in what has been largely a counterproductive effort to reverse the disaster that is American public education. Much of the problem is a labor union mentality that results in the teacher "working to the contract" and nothing more. It is a mentality that has corrupted and debased what had been a noble profession.

"Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow for ever and for ever ..."
And grow for ever and for ever ..."
