Educational Psychology - Illinois Vers. Book

I just started reading this book, and I think it has good insite to teaching theories and how they went through cycles since the time of William James. William James wrote the first psychology textbook, Principles of Psychology and gave a series of lectures called "Talks to the Teachers" in which he discussed applications.

His goal was to improve education in the classroom, but I wonder about parents who spend less time developing their own children as it seems from my research they do not. Teachers from the reports I have seen on TV news they have to many people who claim to be teachers that are not teaching children anything and it gets worst. I do not think I have to spell that out!

These theories proved much in the system and helped some children achieve...but then again they have to apply themselves. I like what I have been reading and find it interesting. It seems to be a new discipline for College Students to study and become better Teachers. Hopefully the younger generations will find out the importance of learning, applying and remembering to take what they know to the next level. It takes in some areas a life time to be effective in society and an expert.
