Bart Simpson may be more of a genius than the educators may
think. He quickly realized his new
school was an extremely bad example of constructivist education and by some
extension the Montessori Method of education.
Particularly telling was the way Bart used the system to devise a way to
return to his old school.
Bart would have also found compatriots for his plan. Airasian and Welch would have noticed a
school failing to adhere to their cautions.
The Gifted School applied a one to one switch of reductionism for constructivism. It failed to determine what was reasonable
and acceptable behavior and exploration.
This is evidenced by the treatment of Bart by the teacher and
students.
Duckworth would also support Bart’s plan. Duckworth would have recognized the school
as one not allowing time for “wonderful ideas.”
The school was applying a predetermined pace for intellectual
development. And Bart was not there.
