As I See it

John H. Lounsbury is considered one of the legacy leaders due to his long advocacy for and involvement in middle grades education. From 1976 to 1990, Lounsbury served as editor for the Middle School Journal, a publication of the National Middle School Association (NMSA), now the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE). As I See It (1991) is a collection of 24 columns Lounsbury wrote for the Middle School Journal (MSJ) between 1984 and 1990; this volume also includes four additional items (two articles and two edited speeches) written by Lounsbury between 1987 and 1990. The collection is titled As I See It because Lounsbury used the phrase “as I see it” in many columns while explaining his views.
