Also, there are two archive pieces in relation to
Dewey / Vygotsky that offer some interesting
historical background.

All the "experts" at Jerome Horwitz Elementary
School had their opinions about Goerge and
Harold. Their guidance counselor, Mr. Rected,
thought the boys suffered from A.D.D. The school
psychologist, Miss Labler, diagnosed them with
A.D.H.D. and their mean principal, Mr. Krupp,
though they were just plain old B.A.D.!

But if you ask me, Goerge and Harold simply
suffered from I.B.S.S. (Incredibly Boring School
Syndrome).
