Description

"The more things change, the more they remain the same" (Sarason, 1996). Long-term perspective can enlarge our vision of current problems. After 50 years as a dedicated reader of Childhood Education, I am grateful to find therein recurrent attention to vital issues facing all the world's children. Cases in point are two articles that appeared in the 2004 Annual Theme Issue, which focused on the Culture of Teaching: "Authentic Learning: Intercultural, International, and Intergenerational Experiences in Elementary Education" (Mbugua, Wadas, Casey, & Finnerty) and "Learning To Teach in Urban Settings" (Duarte & Reed). The latter article struck a special chord with me and encouraged the sharing that follows. J. Robert Oppenheimer, in a speech made shortly before his death, said the following: "Each of us must cling to what is close to him, to what he knows, to what he can do, to his friends and his traditions and his love, lest he be dissolved in a universal confusion and know nothing and love nothing." In other words, "We need to get ourselves together." Out of the near-universal confusion that plagues many U.S. cities today, getting oneself together, seeking one's identity and dignity, appears to be a spreading battle cry.
