[edit] This passage seems to be from a conspiracist perspective
"For instance, it is very interesting that members of Skull and Bones in the United States have played a preponderant part as the historical designers who chose to engineer a German-Prussian pegagogy and school organization. They wanted a U.S. school experience from the start based on purposive mass behavior modification, social engineering, and centralized curricula system (based on curricula 'castes' decided by previous socioeconomic status instead of ability) instead of assumptions of individualized discernment, learning and congnitive equality."
Thanks
- Not only is it a conspiracy theory, it is irrelevant. It discusses overt curriculum design, not the hidden curriculum. I removed it.Cherlin 22:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unsuitable entry
Below the "Also See" section...
"Also, hidden curriculum ruins the lives of many, according to the National Association for Recovering Public School Students (NARPSS). Statistics show that students subjected to a hidden curriculum are 60% more likely to fail out of school by grade 8."
- Not only was this placed outside of a clearly defined section, the tone and style is not suitable for an encyclopedia. The statement is also unsourced and NPOV. It has been deleted. King of Corsairs 00:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
