Theory resistance

Theory and practice debate is like chicken and egg scenario-which one comes first or which is more important. The debate keeps going and those who feel it is useless to adopt theory have a point just as those who think otherwise. the authors for this week's assigned reading hit the nail right on the head by addressing those misconceptions as why some administrators do not incorporate theory into thier work. it is true that experienced administrators perfom well without necessarily applying any particular theory. But it is said that practice makes perfect: every strategy adopted by such experienced administrators has theoretical underpinning. the problem arises when the administrator is not proactive and thinks theory can solve all problems. that is not the case. Theory must must backed by practice and practice should be supported by theory. I believe a combination of the two makes a singnificant difference.
