Herman, these are exclellent choices and excellent abstracts of your choices. It is fascinating that these two articles appeared tonight for your humble servant here. The learning organization concepts firmly ties education to business. The old saying was those can do, and those who cannot teach. This is a false dischotomy, for today, those who do must be able to teach! In fact, education, the learning organization, is crucial to success, and this has helped to redefine the historical relationship in American culture between education and business enterprise. This writer has resolved to claim and work with and build on this connection further tonight because of your abstracts here! Thank you for the guidance!
The classic story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, an old American folk tale, depicts the historical view of education in America in the person of the school teacher Ichabod Crane! Of course, he is the butt of humor and eventual abuse. We are now slowly starting to move beyond this sterotype of the educated person in our society - thankfully, although this writer loves Washington Iriving, the author, and the origin in the Hudson River Valley (NY) of these tales among the early Dutch settlers there. In fact, a Jean Paul Rux immigrated from Amsterdam, Holland, to New Amsterday, New York, now New York, New York, in 1693! The Hudson River Valley is "in my blood." In fact, it is calling to me to return to visit. I lived there for three years at Dobbs Ferry, NY, near White Plains, NY, home base for IBM (Armonk). It is funny how things fall into place. Yes, the learning organization thankfully is breaking down old stereotypes.
