Is Something Wrong Here?
Kazemek, Francis E.
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v44 n1 p16-18 Sep 2000
Notes how Western society fears and resists growing old, and points out that educators, along with the rest of society, have little to do with the elderly. Challenges literacy educators to include the elderly and foster connections between the new and the old, and the young and the old. Suggests reading the Foxfire books for inspiration. (SR)
