"All Children Can Learn": Facts and Fallacies.
Thomas, M. Donald; Bainbridge, William L.
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n9 p660-62 May 2001
Some advocates of "all children can learn" downplay the need for adequate resources and child-friendly public policy. Educators' heroic efforts alone are insufficient. Other destructive fallacies include the principal as sole instructional leader and exception-based, uniform standards. The effective-schools movement has become too punishment-oriented. (MLH)
