looked ahead in the past, or you can
go outside of the rehash of the reigns
of the various administrations and

IN one hand and the John Dewey
IN both hands schools-of- thought on
education. The Rickover (this thought
s named after Admiral Rickover of
he United States submarine fleet)
lew is a return to the traditional
cademics of the old school tie and
inc families school of thinking. Rick
