Carl Hendrick Thanks. It's a great find. I'm resharing it, with some of my own notes on this subject, as it may have broader interest. It makes me think that progressive education, as a set of philosophical ideals, smoldered for generations before it caught fire. Jean-Jacques Rousseau's book Emile (1762) is a seminal work in the development of progressive education. It emphasized the value of experiential learning and personal growth over rote memorization.?Rousseau believed that education should be natural and child-centered. Your quote of Parker is from 1875. Progressive education got another boost from John Dewey's 1896 article, The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology, which is also a key contributor to the progressive-education movement. And then in 1921, the following article, A New Movement in Education, by Stanwood Cobb appeared in The Atlantic. In 1918 Cobb was a founding member of The American Progressive Education Association. It seems he hadn't read Emile. He says: "This movement has already been evolving for half a generation [...] "The primary demand of progressive education is more freedom for the child [...] "In a progressive school there are no fixed desks. All the furniture is movable. To form a class, the children draw up their chairs or movable desks around the teacher. [...] "Not only are the seats comfortable and easily adjusted to the pupil’s desire, but the child, in most progressive schools, is free to get up and leave the class if it becomes too irksome. Not that this privilege is often used; but it is there — and if a pupil is restless and unable to give attention, the teacher might even suggest that some form of activity, such as work at the carpentry bench or a run out-of-doors, would be advisable."

What should we do about secret partnerships? We should bring them to the light! Why? Because one of our top priorities should always be transparency. Don't you agree? If yes, here's one for you - The National Education Association (NEA), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National School Board Association (NSBA) have had a secret partnership for decades.
