Tyler questions whether students should fit into the present society or if they should seek to improve society. According to Tyler, "if the school believes its primary function is to teach people to adjust to society, it will strongly emphasize obedience to the present authorities, loyalty to the present forms and traditions, skills in carrying on the present techniques of life. Whereas if it emphasizes the revolutionary function of the school, it will be more concerned with critical anaysis, the ability to meet new problems, independence and self-direction, freedom, and self-discipline."How does the new curriculum support Tyler's rational?
The nature of our society is dynamic - what we do today, will quite likely be obsolete just a few years down the road.
Are we evolving to keep up with the times?
