Where we have been is the best indicator of where we are going. This is still true, even in these times of extensive and intensive change, when customs and institutions are revised so frequently and so rapidly as to appear as blurs rather than identifiable constructs. The human animal resists change. Change is contrary to the laws of physics and human nature which has to do with bodies at rest attempting to remain at rest. Argues that nowhere is this more true than in the field of education: we know what worked in the past, we know what is good for students, we know what our public expects of the schools, and we are reluctant to make changes beyond the superficial modification of class schedules, grouping, course title changes, etc, but resist change we must.
