from adult illiteracy," Kozol said.
ONE OF THE major problems with
American schools, according to Kozol,
is that they "indoctrinate" children,
first by not allowing them to use the fir-
st person singular when referring to
themselves. When they no longer think
of themselves in terms of "I", they are
no longer real people.
"Public schools in the United States
are scared stiff of the first person
singular pronoun," explained Kozol.
"They set out to destroy it and they do it
with real skill."
The practice of 'tracking' students in
certain academic directions on the
basis of achievement tests, also con-
tributes to education problems, said the
one-time Boston school teacher. " his
mindless reliance on test data is an
example of educational indoc-
trination."

ALTHOUGH KOZOL was speaking
on a serious subject, he often told ram-
bling anecdotes that wandered around
his topic, "The Myth of Impotence:
Student Power and Student Action."
"I'm an odd radical, he confessed.
"I like the United States, I like the
people of the United States; I like my
father. I even like school teachers."

Is it crazy to love marker pens that give you the smoothest, thinnest line in
town...and feel so right in your hand? Is it mad to worship pens with clever
little metal "collars" to keep their plastic points from getting squishy?
Not if the pen is a Pilot marker pen.
Our Razor Point, at only 690, gives
the kind of extra-fine delicate line you'll flip ;:
over And for those times you want a little less
line, have a fiing with our fine point
