Hello Dr De Jonghe, thank you for your contribution here. This article needs some clean-up to be compatible with CZ:Article Mechanics. Maybe some of our authors can help. Please feel free to give feedback as we work to change some of the formatting. This will obviously be in the CZ:Education Workgroup, so feel free to ask for help from editors over there (though I haven't seen many around here lately). Again, welcome and please make yourself at home! --Matt Innis (Talk) 21:07, 22 July 2007 (CDT)

Some done by various others; it still needs wiki links. John Stephenson 00:12, 23 July 2007 (CDT)
There's also some bias towards localism and recentism - there's nothing about any country other than the U.S., and no acknowledgement that other countries exist; there're also two mentions of NCLB (which has very little to do with progressive education) and of a conferernce in 2007 (but no previous ones). The history up to the 1950s looks good, but there isn't enough about criticisms of progressive education and the responses by progressive educators to those criticisms. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to write any of that in a useful way. Anthony Argyriou 14:37, 16 July 2008 (CDT)
