[ProgressiveEd] On reorganizations

[Peter Kindfield]

Sorry for the repost but I flubbed the quote the first time....
We trained hard--But it seemed that every time we were beginning to form 
up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life 
that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful 
method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing 
confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.

Our economic system features competition over limited resources, 
authoritarian control structures and worker engagement in tasks 
that are far removed from their needs, interests and purposes.
Our classrooms tend to be microcosms of this system.
Go figure.
