Pedals of Progress

Like clay on the potter’s wheel
Gradually but certainly
She is spun
On the horizon she spots victory
She is molded
The song of triumph from afar grows nigh
She is transformed
Hope, once distant and remote, now grins at her
In the wind, a step away, the finish line flutters
She is educated!

Why we are Getting the CBC Debate Wrong

Do we have to completely do away with the one and wholly adopt the other? Isn’t it worth considering what’s good in both the old 8-4-4 and the new CBC as well as what may present challenges implementing, and then working out a compromise? The antagonistic stances the proponents and opponents hold suggest that CBC and 8-4-4 are mutually exclusive. That CBC can only be achieved within a 2-6-3-3-3 curriculum. This is fallacious.
