After reading the small article that compares both Hirsch and Sizer's theories on education, realized that both these guys are to thank for some sort of form of our education. Which even though most people would say differ, really dont.
Ok, so technically they are different Sizer says "Students should leave school as well-informed skeptics, able to ask good questions as a matter of habit" while Hirsch says "Students should be able to read and know the basic number facts by the end of the first grade" This shows us that not only do the focuses on different grade leves in school "Hirsch worries motly about elementary schools, while Sizer about high schools" but they focuse on different ways of learning, different parts that make a school good.
With this in mind though we can agree that both Sizer and Hirsch goal was just to make education better, the way THEY saw that it would be able to help us grow as students. This is something I believe they have in common, that "drive" to sorta make a difference.This shows us that though these theories arent like two peas in a pod (alike in anyway), they can be like strawberries and cherries (both rich in color and flavor) lol.
Based on my experience in S.O.F i would say Sizers theory does help us think better, use our minds and what not, its almost as i said in my last post, we have it within our reach, but we dont grab onto to it, we let it fade into the back , not realizing how helpful it can really be.
