The Shifting Ground of Curriculum Thought and Everyday Practice

Consider these thoughts on curriculum presented by William Ayers (1992)

The curriculum is a thing, something bought and sold, packaged and delivered. The teachers are clerks, the front line employees doing their jobs. There is virtually no talk among school people of the curriculum as interactive or constructed, of teachers as transformative intellectuals or moral agents.

Talk of school improvement generally means buying a buying a different package and inserting it into the existing structures, cultures and realities. Ideas that are potentially transforming...become thus reduced to fit into mindless, airless spaces: "We have a critical thinking unit first thing in the morning," or "We do character ed. just before lunch." the name remains but the larger reality has overwhelmed whatever might have been hopeful there.

It is commonplace for academics to be dismissed by school teachers as being impractical, theoretical, philosophical...Equally common (but less discussed at the university) is a practically universal condescension toward teachers, toward the practical.
