I visit a doctor who tells me every so often that he thinks that licensure for medical professionals should be abolished. Conflict is ubiquitous. Licensure procedures and the consequent restricted access to jobs are the price that the public pays for confidence that some pre-selection process is weeding out the most grossly incompetent and unsuited. Such a suspicion tends to rest on ignorance of history and the belief that the worst aspects of the status quo are its dominant ones. Indeed, such ignorance and pessimism motivate the dynamic in our restrictedly democratic and exaggeratedly pluralistic society of perpetual reform movements in education.
Few people know anything of history and ignorance is bliss.
They're no big thing. Therefore change is imperative. Don't worry the costs of change because the only costs we feel are those of the status quo. Athletes know that you can't build up for extreme strength and endurance at the same time. The great taste of that first cup of coffee in the morning is not sustained through the twentieth cup. .
