The Cooperation among Teaching Staffs

We need a significant amount of effort to get all teaching egos to cooperate, if we should continue to work on the projects we have started in previous high schools. There are some small gaps between the ideas and their practices, and the projects we have begun, laying out a full account of what we have done, are still in very rough shapes. It would take further more years, and a collective effort, to establish a certain systematical program with those projects. To complete them, we should come as close as we ever have to an active collaboration with other educationists. This is the beginning of a new program. It is very difficult so far for us to tell others what we are after, our grand design. We should knock on doors, ask questions, speculate out loud, fish for ideas, and get a dozen or so educationists interested enough in our problem to drop their own research long enough to solve little pieces of our puzzle. It will be a kind of factory.
