“One of the most serious evils of American education in
school and college is counting by courses.”
“Once a credit was earned, it was as safe as anything in the world. It would be deposited and indelibly recorded in the registrar’s saving bank, while the substance of the course could be, if one wished, happily forgotten.”
Dietrich Gerhard, 1937

“We already know what works for at-risk students.
“It’s clear and integrated academic programs, supplemental instruction and support, and wraparound services.
“We know that.
“So then if we still have problems, then that’s an educator problem, not a student problem.”
