Guess the Publication Date!

Thanks to everyone who played Guess the Publication Date! There were so many correct submissions, and "No", using your resources, including Google, is not cheating! I love that so many were motivated enough to try to find the date! The quote...

"I will argue that “equality of quality” in education cannot be achieved by forcing all students to take exactly the same course of study, nor can the ideal of a democratic, classless society be actualized by establishing only one mode of excellence"...

is by Nel Noddings in her article, The False Promise of the Paideia, published in the Journal of Thought in 1983. In this article, Noddings attacks a proposal to eliminate elective courses and provide a single, uniform curricular sequence for all students.

The winner, chosen at random from among many correct guesses, is Lisa Campise! A treat is on its way to her!
