Summary |
Many students who fail at school are confused about whether to blame the school, themselves, or their surroundings, and in this, says school psychologist, Gopodman (counseling and special education, California State U.-Fresno), they reflect the confusion of society at large. He calls on the students themselves to describe their experience to provide clues to how educators can improve pedagogy and praxis. |
