Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Education, John W. Gardner said in the mid 1960s, "The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursuing his own education.
This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else....."
"Further, I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools and wonder how we could have tolerated anything so primitive."
That was almost 50 years ago.....
Now.....
