Abstract

For the past century educators have been forced to hold back from making needed changes and advances in the instructional programs of their schools in order to give tradition-bound public an opportunity to catch up with modern educational thought. There is much truth in the statement that a school can go no further than it can take its parents. Unfortunately, increased public relations activity in the form of parent-study groups, P.T.A. programs, school publications, and even newspaper and magazine articles has failed to materially narrow the gap between the research-founded knowledges of the professional educator and the tradition-biased prejudices of the lay public. Typical of this understanding-lag are today's pressures that all children must be involved in cut-throat intellectual competition if the gifted are to be challenged, or that the chief failure of the academically-slow student is lack of effort and appreciation. This conflict between enlightened theory and unenlightened opinion has always been, and will continue to be, an obstacle to educational progress. Moreover, it will remain major deterrent unless educators exercise some bold imagination in pursuing solution.
