BSTEP – Behavioral Science Teacher Education Program – just like science fiction?
April 15, 2013
This report almost sounds like science fiction, and some of the educational plans described are unbelievable. Published in January 1970, this 417 page report was written over 40 years ago when the technology it mentions was not yet developed. Now, in 2013, some of these projects are almost ready to be realized. (It’s a big file, so it may take a few minutes to load.)
See the report for yourself.
Some highlights: The first two pages are introductory notes, and the report starts on the third page. Some of the alarming pages that sound like unbelievable science fiction are:
pg 238-second paragraph,
pg 247-categories of changes,
page 251-changes by biological means,
pg 261-ID numbers and control,
pg 270-general plan for implementation, starting at bottom of page.
And we thought education was about reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic!
