Class+Notes

Those of you in the Monday class heard me speak about a friend of mine Maura Doherty (with a PhD in History and who won multiple teaching awards at the University of Illinois) who currently lives in Switzerland. Her daughter is navigating the Swiss primary school and Maura is extremely frustrated by what she calls a very backwards system. She wrote an essay for a education conference describing the stages of tracking -- demystifying the common romance that college is free for "everyone" in Switzerland -- and the lack of serious content, especially in the early grades. She sent me her paper. You are welcome to comment on it, and she personally welcomes your questions and thoughts. You can contact her at: madoher@yahoo.com
