Zimiles, Herbert. “A Bittersweet Appraisal of Progressive Educatiion”. Society. 2011, Print.
Zimiles writes an article speaking toward the role of progressive education. His emphasis begins with where progressive learnings roots began, which he describes as families wishing a “better” education for their children. The changing landscape of women in the workplace, higher divorce rates, leaves the responsibility on educators. Without the supportive and encouraging family—mother, father—progressive education may not be as effective, but still holds a possibely more important role with increasingly neglected children.
This is interesting, and really good work. Summary is a difficult balance however, as you're always trying to provide just enough-- but not too much-- information. In this specific case, I would have liked to here more about what makes Zimiles perspective unique, considering that so many authors have written about his topic? What about his argument was compelling for you?
