I know of very few people who knew what their calling was before graduating from high school. Adams blames this on traditional education, yet the choices for vocation today are growing so fast in number that it is difficult to choose. Discovering one's vocation was not as hard then. But finding your vocation and calling these days is not easy and it should not be imposed on high school and junior high students. Obviously, we must not go to the other extreme by saving all projects are bad.
Some projects are good if they can be worked into the scheduling and resources of the school.
Adams has certainly displayed boldness in challenging all Christian schools to concentrate their curriculum on nothing but projects, and in claiming that this is the miracle cure for Christian education everywhere. But he has not displayed wisdom. Any practical, thinking person can see the impossibility of Adams's proposal. Adams has erroneously assumed that teaching at the university and seminary level, where he has experience, is identical to teaching at the lower levels. I currently teach both on the college and middle school level where I daily see the glaring differences between these age levels in the areas of effort, discipline, and motivation.
