But once I started teaching, I just fell in love with the children and with the whole idea to the point where, believe it or not, the research took a back seat. I realized how much I could learn from the children about teaching more than anybody could ever teach me. I find quite a parallel with improvisation. I follow the grain like I follow chord changes. Through the grain.
Improvisation is everything.
I really find quite a parallel. Your research has evolved through the years. In our discussions many years ago, your approach appeared more objective. I realized that my thinking as a doctoral student was right that this whole idea of experimental research in anything is just fraught with problems, one of the main problems being the tests of probabilities and the tests of significance. The only thing that has ever had value to me is the correlation coefficient, and I've used that exclusively in handling test validity studies and other types of investigations.
