English to Indonesian Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Schools Reform

Genius among teachers, John Dewey suggested some three quarters of a century ago, "is as rare as genius in other realms of human activity. Education is, and forever will be, in the hands of ordinary men and women." But can the ordinary men and women in whose hands American public education is placed successfully handle informal *classrooms*?

Dalam konteks ini, rasanya kurang tepat kalau 'classroom' diterjemahkan 'ruang kelas.' Bagaimana menurut rekan penerjemah? Apa terjemahan yang pas?
