The Canadian news media, so it seems, are finally getting on to a story that broke about 50 years ago, which they missed at the time and have been missing ever since.
I know, because I was one of the reporters who missed it.
Judging by the stuff appearing of late in the national media, we are beginning to discover that our school system has been fairly well ruined by crackpot ideas, introduced in the 1950s by reformers of supposedly unchallengeable authority.
They were in fact challenged at the time by older, life-long teachers who protested that these new concepts were hair-brained, if not downright insane.
