Traditional nineteenth-century education is usually associated with the image of a stern teacher standing in front of a blackboard in a one-room schoolhouse, teaching only the three r's of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and demanding rote (mechanical repetition) learning in an atmosphere of silence and restraint. accurate or not, that image conflicts sharply with the modern reality. today, the typical public school offers students a diversity of subject areas, a plethora of educational materials, and a variety of activities from creative dramatics to journalism. the modern school complex contains an array of educational facilities. within the classroom setting, students are encouraged to speak up and engage in guided discussion. in fact, articulate speech and debate are desirable skills. children are encouraged to interrelate on class projects that are independent of the teacher.
