ABSTRACT

Literature in virtually all disciplines regularly proclaims one inescapable fact: Schools have changed just as the world has changed. Educational literature, in particular, is prone to comparisons of what life used to be like, how students used to behave, and how schools used to function. Whether or not the “good old days” were quite as good as people remember them to be, although fodder for debate, is really irrelevant. The inescapable fact once again is that schools have changed. They will continue to change at a rate that many educational leaders simply are not prepared for and do not comprehend.
