Quote

A syllabus not only prescribes what story lines you must learn (The War of 1812 in the sixth grade, chromosomes in the eleventh, South America in the ninth), it also prescribes the order in which your skills must be learned (spelling on Monday, grammar on Tuesday, vocabulary on Wednesday). This is called the “sequential curriculum,” and one has to visit the Ford Motor plant in Detroit in order to understand fully the assumptions on which it is based.
