I thought it was a perfectly clear analogy:
Astronomy grows out of astrology. Astrology can be seen as the "primitive" form of astronomy. Astrology can be seen as the predecessor of astronomy.
I felt it was saying "We still have a long ways to go before this is some kind of science."
- ncmncm 5y agoWas there ever expectation that classroom practice derived from any kind of science? It evolved as a practice that pretty reliably generates tuition and employment of educators. Any success in actually educating has always been secondary as an evolutionary measure of fitness. I guess you could say that astrology developed by a similar process, optimized to produce people willing to pay for it, with little demand for other objective result. Objectivity is rejected pre-emptively.
