III. Paragraph Analysis: The Outline
(Paras.3-6) We are losing this fifth freedom through three misunderstanding
(Paras.4)
A. The first misunderstanding is that of the meaning of democracy.
We think that democracy in education means gearing all courses to the middle level.
We reject special programs and schools for superior students as undemocratic.
(Paras.5)
B. The second misunderstanding is that of the meaning of happiness.
This misunderstanding results from our stress on comfort rather than on accomplishment.
The stress on material well-being has been reflected in the schools by too little discipline and too easy subjects.
(Paras.6)
C. The third misunderstanding is that of ultimate values.
These values have been denied in recent teacher education.
The inevitable result in mass selfishness is already evident.
(Paras.7-9)
IV.
To assure our children the freedom to develop, we must challenge their abilities.
(Paras.7)A.
We can give them a demanding curriculum.
Michelangelo did not learn to paint by doodling.
Mozart did not become a pianist by watching television.
They, like Eve Curie and Helen Keller, were challenged by disciplined training.
(Paras.8)B.
We can give them the right to failure.
We must not give high school diplomas without regard to merit.
We must be realistic about failure to meet standards and must teach our children realism.
(Paras.9) C.
We can give them the best values we know.
We can show them what history has taught us to be true.
These truths may inspire us to make a “ringing message”that could mean true freedom for them.
