CHANGE
A doctor failed to complete his professional
training, but began to practice illegally. He
did learn to remove gall bladders. Each patient
was scheduled for surgery, no matter what the

removed. Some patients got better! Teachers who
continue to use two instructional methods 88
percent of the time will also succeed with some
students.
