I am old enough to have gone to a one room school house with 24 students spanning grades 1 to 8. Direct Education was the education model in that little school where the teacher gave much more than just rote Reading, Writing and Arithmetic instruction. Older students helped those in younger grades and one capable grade 7 student taught the old 1960's "New Math" to the grade 7 and 8 classes.
Curriculum has changed several times since the days of the one room school but the way people learn best has not changed much. However, how people retrieve information has become technology based permitting most students to become instantaneously knowledgeable. Direct Education promoted Critical Thinking to solve problems, like the best way to manage soils though crop rotation and contour plowing, teaching of others, and much more not found in the other education models presented in this article and its links.
Sound education of the children in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries developed North America to a high level. People, businesses, and economy prospered because of sound, mostly free, curriculum. I am not saying we need to go to past methods of instruction but learn from the past curriculum models and the former and current giants of education and implement effective "New" curriculum for the 21st century.
