[NLA] Discussion: Learning for the Future --Innovation or Wasteful Dupli...

[DEBBYDAM@aol.com]

I agree that this discussion of curriculum poses many problems, especially in 
light of recent discussions of social justice issues on this and other adult 
basic education listserves.  Putting adult learners in the shoes of corporate 
decision makers continues the tradition of work-related education that 
assumes common interests among workers and employers.  Learners in adult ed 
classes are likely to have more in common with the factory workers paid 
sub-standard wages in other countries, and may have been in that position 
themselves, either in their countries of origin or here in the U.S.  It seems 
that the new project is not duplicating LINCS and the work of our field, 
rather it is running counter to how many of us see that work.  DD
