George Marshall Exhibit Teaching Activities Background Information Marshall Plan Poster Nobel Peace Prize George Kennan ... Back to Marshall Exhibit Background Information Few Americans in the twentieth century have left a greater legacy to world peace than George C. Marshall (1880-1959). As chief of staff of the United States Army during World War II, it fell to Marshall to raise, train, and equip an army of several million men. It was Marshall who selected the officer corps and it was Marshall who played a leading role in planning military operations on a global scale. In the end, it was Marshall whom British Prime Minister Winston Churchill hailed as "the true organizer of victory." To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Marshall Plan, the National Portrait Gallery and the George C. Marshall Foundation have produced this exhibition, remembering Marshall and the leaders with whom he helped shape history for much of the twentieth century. Marshall Plan Poster 1.

Main Menu Home Reform Blueprint Comments About Us ... Previous Entry (older): Ten Traits of Highly Effective Schools Next Entry (newer): Comparison of Traditional and Progressive approaches Opening Doors (or, "Why We Teach") December 15, 2003 It seems that Public Education is constantly fighting a losing battle with Progressive reformers seeking to dumb down our schools for a host of "wonderful" reasons. This is well documented in Left Back: A Century of Battles Over School Reform by Diane Ravitch. One especially galling example is the head-long assault on the "academic curriculum" (reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, and geography) by reformers insisting upon usefulness . John Franklin Bobbitt was one such reformer who wrote the influential book The Curriculum , which became a standard text in Schools of Education nationwide in the 1920s. Professor Ravitch writes, "Bobbit saw no justification for teaching science or any other subject unless it had some functional value in real life." This sounds reasonable, but Ravitch continues, "Studies such as history and literature were merely leisure activities, he held, and not more than one in a thousand students had any real need to learn a foreign language." Of course there are grains of truth in all this. The vast majority of students will not get a job requiring knowledge of either history
