Language in the British Primary School.
Britton, James
Forum for the Discussion of New Trends in Education, v21 n2 p48-53 Spr 1979
The author defends the progressive teaching methods of the British Primary school against recent calls for "literacy" and "evaluation." He asserts that language and writing develop best from personal exploration and student-teacher trust, not from rote learning and surveillance. (SJL)
