This assignment prompts students to discuss various aspects of progressivism in education, including the influence of communist teaching, fears surrounding it, potential factors leading to its downfall, and the appeal of the European education model.

 Discussion Question 1: After reading chapter four, it appeared that many liberals turned to the idea of communist teaching in the classroom. Why do you believe this was the case? Were Hooks and Meiklejohn’s arguments supportive of such efforts?
Discussion Question 2: How does the fictional video illustrate the fears (actual or perceived) about communist teachers in the classroom? 
Discussion Question 3: After reading the module notes, do you tend to agree or disagree with the possible conditions that led to the downfall of progressivism in schools? What factor did you find most influential?
Discussion Question 4: Why did the European education model receive additional attention? Where were their characteristics that became appealing?
