It's a common way to "solve" things. I live in the Netherlands. Ten or fifteen years ago we tried to cut education costs by merging schools into large school clusters. Small schools were too expensive. Now they go back and say that the large schools are too impersonal. In ten or twenty years they will go back to large schools. You can bet on this.
Is it good or bad? It means that things are changing, and they are not going back to the same situation as ten years ago. It is a matter of evolving. There are new insights, new technologies, new people.
- gambiting 11y agoYep, in Poland it's the same with schools. We used to have 9 years of primary school + 4 years of high school and that was it. In 1999 a new, 3-year long "middle school" was introduced,shortening primary school to 6 years and high school to 3 years. Now the new government elected this year has vowed to get rid of this system and go back to the old one, at some untold cost, "because old is bad, new will be better, except that in this case new is old".
