Issues
Illinois Loop is a conservative political organization, with a distinct bias towards a "Stand and Deliver" mode of teaching base on rote memorization. Their criticism of alternative teaching methods rarely investigates the possible merits of alternatives, preferring to advocate for a specific type of instruction.
Illinois Loop does not support the concept of differentiation, or changing instruction methods to support the learning style of particular students, and is strident in their attacks on new research.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
