don't you folks find it quite embarrassing that Glassman is suggesting
that a summer holiday stint by Dewey influenced Vygotsky's life long
investigations, and that this is a plausible theory?
Does Vygotsky, a generous and dedicated diarist who gives tremendous
credit to all and any who entered his sphere, mention this all so
important influence?
just wondering? Not a vygotsky scholar, but hearing from some former
Moscow students who studied his life works.
call me mystified?
