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:
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“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)
