...areas like primary education where change in the classroom is already conceivable, springs from a trend made apparent in the so-called "academic revolution"--a predisposition to research as opposed to practice. As Featherstone has stated, among Dewey's insights is the realization that far from being a frontier-oriented problem-solving nation, America has become a nation which eschews practice for theory. This trend in graduate schools away from classroom experience--as well as the persistence of state legislatures and teachers' unions in making entry into the profession difficult--obstruct the kind of micro-reform that could be going...

But somehow, out of this bizarre juxtaposition of different times and styles and places comes a strange imaginative unity. In the night and the silence, all the startling, various images are bound together by their common status as dreams...
