"Some conservatives have recognized the huge benefits of progressive classroom practices, but they only want them for their own children" - or for those who can afford them. (The masses get direct instruction & wksheets.) Thoughtful essay by an historian: is.gd/8KSyd2

My high school choir director had us learn "Silent Night" in German, which we decided was ridiculous. Lots of teenaged eye rolling.
Fast forward ten years. I'm a pastor doing a Christmas Eve service at an assisted living facility. I make the rounds, saying hello to everyone. 1/
