Development is essential

Comer's book offers an essential addition to curriculum and a complex description of the many instances of practice in which his proposal has been tested and found useful. One point that he did not mention is that throughout the country education is considered to be a social science in which all processes and relationships are causal; as he does say there is a presumption of no choice on the part of children.
