Chapter 4, ex. 1

1.) While it is not very clear in the article, I think the author agrees somewhat with the other authors, however, she wants to see more data before she can make a clear cut decision. I've come to this conclusion because she cites the other authors' and seems to think they have logical points but she also says, "There has been little or no attempt to investigate these ideas empirically in elementary or secondary schools and classrooms in this country." If you could not tell by what I previously wrote, the article left me somewhat confused.
