In defense of Dodds and its emphasis on education i am writing this Teller in response to one that appeared in a recent Issue of your paper. The letter was from a writer pleading for More free Lime for students to daydream and socialize. He was writing against the Dodds system for its of forms to increase efficient use of learning time. I would like to voice a defense in behalf of Dodds. Too Long have our school systems placed an emphasis on the social development of students thus neglecting their function their intellectual development. The writer s main Gripe was that there was too much education in school and Hal there was too much knowledge being taught. He wrote the program is dehumanizing it brings to mind an Assembly line approach to Edu cation with disregard for the social and per Sona and Independent growth of each child. Keep in mind we Are talking about children from Ages 5 through 16. The More we concentrate on hard material knowledge and More efficiency the More we create an atmosphere where people cannot integrate their lives into the  first he is ignoring the function of the school education. He claims that the school has a function of building a child s social growth. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Besides an atmosphere thai teaches a student a sense of responsibility respect for the rights of others and generally civilized behaviour his social growth is the responsibility of himself and his per cols. Certainly if the writer were opposed to an Assembly line approach he would be opposed to it in social factors also. A child s moral a Chavtur is nol to be folded by any school system. His morals and social behaviour must be do Lerminez of his own free will. Yes let s keep in mind thai  Stu dents Are from 5 to 16 years of age. These years encompass the most crucial years of a child s  growth. Wilh act and sat scores falling year after year Wilh educators dumping Down their learning materials any step to Revere this emphasis on filling in Wilh society should be fully welcomed. That Dodds is placing an emphasis on learning is highly commendable. The writer claims that a society in which people arc Loo Effi Cicil is Deli mental to integrating oneself with the world. In a highly Industrial and technological society such As ours efficiency is one of the most highly rewarded attributes that a person can have. Bul this is nol what the writer wanted. He wants a society where everyone conforms and fits  in is the curse of our age that slide nos have had i hair intellectual growth stunted and held Back simply because they have been Able to grasp things faster than their Peers. The Only people who truly learn to live in this world arc those who use their minds to the Best of their abilities.

Our country was not built on any Orl of  but on the reality of Man s inalienable rights. In Light of this look at the fact that Thomas Jefferson the writer of our Constitution was a scholar.
