John Dewey-
Education is a social process.
Education is growth.
Education is not a preparation for life;
education is life itself.

Inquriy /Facts
E.D. Hirsch cultural literacy includes 5,000 essential facts to know.
The inquiry learner needs facts.
The inquiry learner in Alaska needs different facts than the NYC student.
Technology can provide this when needed.

Jean Jacques Rousseau thought that a child's knowledge and skills would develop regardless of his/her educational opportunities. But the author disputes this, for the most part, especially in regard to reading and reading comprehension. His point is that when one reads new information, one comes in with background information that is essential to the comprehension of the new material and its implications; otherwise, the reading is simply of meaningless words.
Alaskan needs to take care of dogs keep them healthy.
NYC will have no need of the risk to group of dogs in a shared space.
Nor would he need to know harnesses, ganglines, booties, and snowhook.

Student Achievement

School Library Media Centers: Selected results from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002

    The U.S. National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) recently released some of the findings from a longitudinal study of 10th graders. Among the findings are that students in the lowest quartile of composite test scores make less focused use of library resources, while students in the middle and highest three quartiles of composite test scores reported higher use of library resources for assignments, in-school projects and research papers.

School Libraries Work! Danbury, Conn.: Scholastic Library Publishing, 2008.

    This research foundation paper brings together position statements from a variety of organizations and findings from nearly a decade of empirical studies that cite the measurable impact of school libraries and library media specialists on learning outcomes. The report shows that school libraries administered by certified library media specialists are a powerful force in the lives of America’s children.
