There is no credible research or educational theory that suggests or supports the conveyor belt.  It is a result of prioritizing a factory model ahead of learning.  The conveyor belt is assumed and silently accepted. It has no champion or advocate; it’s just the way it’s always been.  Despite the clear evidence that it doesn’t work, it has gone unquestioned until now. It is the central reason that school reforms fall short of their goals.

Future posts will examine the current paradigm and new paradigm in greater detail. The blog archive on the right of the landing page presents blog posts in calendar order. The posts themselves are displayed with the most recent first, on the left side of the landing page.
