This school is failing every child in it. That is your responsibility. The usual excuses-bad kids, poor parents, lousy administrator, bad curriculum-will not be acceptable. You are the only people in the world who can solve the problem. You have all the knowledge and skills to find ways to meet the problem, but it will require that we all learn them together. If the principal is bad, get rid of him; if the curriculum is bad, throw it out the window and develop something that you think will work. The job of the administrator is to create conditions in which you can help kids learn and to protect you from pressure to do the same old things" (quoted in Wayson, 1971, p. 169)
