Dear Educators,
I sometimes run across "older" articles or quotes (where "older"
means from the 1920s and before) which sound so modern in their
bemoaning the state of education (in particular in science) that
you'd swear they were written today. Sometimes these appear in
issues of The Physics Teacher, and I've seen quotes (e.g. by
Plutarch) which seem to succinctly sum up educators' thoughts from
the last 30 years. Textbook reviews from the 1890s often sound as
though they're from the 1990s.
However, I'm having problems finding specific examples of these
articles/essays/quotes, especially for physics. Does anyone have
examples they can point me to, or send to me?
Thanks,
Curtis O.
