Simplified History of Replacement

The article currently says that "In the middle of the twentieth century the student service paradigm was replaced by the student development paradigm." The article talks as though each method was replaced outright by the next one during a certain time period. I would have thought that there would be some old-fashioned schools that continued to teach in the old methods even as new ones became more popular. So to say that "Teaching strategy Y replaced teaching strategy X during the early 1900's" sounds like a huge oversimplification of the history. Granted, I am personally more interested in the viewpoints and strategies themselves than the histories, but this still seems to be an inaccurate way to describe history. --Todemo

You are likely right, please feel free to be bold and correct and improve the article.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 15:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid this page reads like a poorly-written freshman psychology paper, riddled with simplistic stereotypes. It should be marked as poor quality. --A passing reader who was looking for useful information —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.173.169 (talk) 07:35, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Javier (talk) 04:07, 14 April 2017 (UTC) Hello Wikipedia Community, My name is Justin, and plan on adding Sanford's Theory of Challenge and Support to this wikipedia page in the coming week as part of my graduate school methods course that has encouraged my cohort to contribute to the wikipedia community. I plan on using the following sources to support the theory and prove its positive correlation as related to student development. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7][reply]
