Individual Education and the 4Rs.
Evans, Timothy D.; And Others
Educational Leadership, v48 n1 p52-56 Sep 1990
The problems of education stem from system design, not faulty operation. Traditional education is based on autocratic principles, or order without freedom. The innovative Individual Education design, based on democratic principles, gives students control over their own learning and promotes the development of responsibility, respect, resourcefulness, and responsiveness. (MLH)
