I happen to be online as your note on the Vygotsky quote comes across and
it is amazing aposite to the questions that Juanita was posing, David.

This quote, of course, also speaks to the issue of transmission teaching
versus environmental arrangement teaching.

Do you think that Vygotksy would approve of Carol Lee's approach? That is,
as we have discussed here before, cultural variation seems to get short
shrift, or a history-as-progress-shrift, in his writing and that of his
students. Is this a small and bridgable gap, or a major issue?
