I don't think it is ad hominem, since I don't know the person well
enough to attack him...it is more like profiling, as in racial
profiling. Let me spin it a different way. There are folks out
there from places I know and respect that say that as children grow,
the ways in which they analyze changes, and that given the right
curricular framework, you can enhance the development of children.
So when some person, with a degree in biology, from school in the
California system...that has lots of well know and prestigious
institutions...that is clearly less prestigious, says that Piaget is
wrong because he got the ages when change occurs wrong, and further
that we should use our authority in the classroom to tell students
what they should know....I'm sorry I just don't find it very credible.
Who cares if the ages are not what Piaget claimed...that is not the
issue, and to make that claim is miss the point.
