Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in his Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961

Enlightened management is one way of taking religion seriously, profoundly, deeply, and earnestly. Of course, for those who define religion just as going to a particular building on Sunday and hearing a particular kind of formula repeated, this is all irrelevant. But for those who define religion not necessarily in terms of the supernatural, or ceremonies, or rituals, but in terms of deep concern with the problems of human beings, with the problems of ethics, of the future of man, then this kind of philosophy, translated into the work life, turns out to be very much like the new style of management and of organization.

Maslow’s theory of self-actualization is a favorite topic of teacher training programs, but unfortunately, a topic almost never addressed in educational administration nor by school boards doing their work. Too often in American education, religious freedom is regarded as freedom to pass judgment on the morals of others, rather than the freedom to educate children well. It is ironic that people who otherwise pay attention to Maslow do so little to manifest his theories in actual practice.

You are currently browsing the Millard Fillmore's Bathtub blog archives for the day Monday, April 9th, 2007.
(The Life of Reason, vol. 1: Reason in Common Sense)
Or, until that account is unsuspended by the forces supporting Donald Trump:
Follow @FillmoreWhite, the account of the Millard Fillmore White House Library
Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.
