Criticism
One criticism of the school, common to most schools of education in the United States, is that it overemphasizes the philosophy of progressive education vs. traditional education. In 2009, a dispute occurred between a student and faculty member, apparently stemming from these philosophical differences. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education intervened, and the dean ultimately resolved the matter.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
