Editor's Comment: One of our editorial policies is to provide a forum for discussion on various key issues in our field. This is important because there are many different vantage points to some issues. The Forum section of the journal allows individuals to reflect on these matters from their own viewpoints. In the first article, Drs. Douglas W. Carnine and Edward J. Kameenui continue the discussion on the General Education Initiative. (See the January 1988 and January 1989 issues for past discussions on this topic.) In the second article, Dr. Robert-Jay Green responds to Dr. Gerald Cole's theory of interactivity that appeared in the May 1989 issue of this journal.---JLW
