I saw it recommended by Clay Burrell.<br /><br /><br />Dear John,<br /><br />Thanks for the words.<br /><br />I was reading your book again today, as I do frequently. I need to post a review soon. It belongs on every teacher's shelf.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-67243942442054104502010-06-20T15:05:14.763-04:002010-06-20T15:05:14.763-04:00I quit reading the Times because of their educatio...I quit reading the Times because of their education garbage. Even the Washington Post who "gets it right" (progressive reform) chooses "experts" who were once in favor of NCLB (Diane Ravitch) and now act as if these anti-NCLB ideas are so revolutionary (it's what teachers have been saying for years.)<br /><br />If you want a decent view on education reform, the best place to go is a high school newspaper. Sometimes brash and bratty, just like the Times, but at least a little less smug. <br /><br />Student newspapers often bring up points adults miss: the power of the arts, the need for practical skills, the desire for more freedom, the mixed reality of good and bad teachers, the importance of sports and yet the way athletes recieve a double-standard. School newspapers are often more nuanced, more realistic and more multi-sided than anything "respectable." <br /><br />Okay Doyle, I'll step off my soapbox now. Thanks for the thought-provoking post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-26756896402379358832010-06-20T12:41:21.870-04:002010-06-20T12:41:21.870-04:00Have you seen this yet Sir:
