...grateful to TIME and Albert Shanker [Sept. 20] for telling us what is wrong with our public schools: "You walk into a classroom and you see the same teacher and the same blackboard you saw 20 years ago."

It would be a great service to the College if their "Teacher's Manual" were published and given wide circulation...
...discussion ended there. The man had clearly won his point. He had approached the debate not with condescension or anger, but with the patient attitude of the teacher who must explain a problem to a slow student. In the end the woman could not argue with the assumption that the balance between fear and security had to be preserved...
