Dear TBers,
Just my two cents, but this discussion seems to me like a group of carpenters arguing over which tool is always best. One says he only uses a hammer, another a screwdriver, and a third is dedicated to a saw. The best carpenters will tell you that part
of the art of the job is to choose the tool that works best in a given situation. I believe that the same thing holds true in teaching. If you only use one tool you will be right now and then, but to really do the job well you have to evaluate the situation
and chose the best tool for each case.
Cordially,
Harry
