Extinction by Lack of Definition.

Doughtery, J. W.

Clearing House, v53 n2 p72-73 Oct 1979

The word "curriculum" is derived from a verb meaning "to run a course," which well describes the frantic actions of educators to adopt each new educational fad. But the curriculum revisions of recent years have not justified their cost. It is time for educators to be more conservative. (Author/SJL)
