completed in the ruminations blog: "de facto Segregation: a fact of human existence." People like to be around others that are like them. Integrating people from various backgrounds has limited success, such that the American vision of persons paying no attention to each others' habits and customs and physical characteristics--the melting pot concept--has limited appeal to the citizenry, to any citizenry.
in the Studies in Interplay: Mentors and Teachers. I wrote last year a ruminations item on the importance of the mentor concept in education. The research item will go into greater depth. The point is, education needs purpose and direction that the mentor can provide, but a teacher can't; and I will attempt to argue this position in some detail. I need to find a library I can use to do the research: will try the University of Nevada-Reno library, if I can use it. I'm following up on John Dewey's philosophy of education, having been trained by his most illustrous student when I attended NYU, Professor Sidney Hook.
still in the offing in the Social-X series: Social Change items.
