About This Quote

Bob Stull believed that the best way to develop a curriculum was to try things out. If something didn't work, he would just throw it away instead of continuing along with what didn't work. He believed that it was better to try something else than to go back to the beginning and start over again. This is an example of persistent change. The purpose of education is not only to transmit information, but also to develop individual potential for self-development.
