Schools
may be the starkest example in modern society of an entire institution
modelled after the assembly line. This has dramatically increased educational
capability in our time, but it has also created many of the most intractable
problems with which students, teachers, and parents struggle to this
day. If we want to change schools, it is unlikely to happen until we
understand more deeply the core assumptions on which the industrial-age
school is based.

is there not to understand?
