Just a Matter of Time.
Smith, Frank
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n8 p572-76 Apr 2001
Struggling students are often victimized by time constraints--arbitrarily imposed timetables for mastering material and meeting standards. People learn best from experience, not by information acquisition, skill development, rote memorization, or assessment. Reading, writing, arithmetic, scientific understanding, and civics require student participation in relaxed settings. (MLH)
