NYT's columnist Nicholas Kristof has decided that education is important and has jumped into the fray. Our Greatest National Shame
The thrust of his argument for improved education seems to be better teachers. He is excited about the 100 billion in stimulus dollars to be poured into the sinkhole and believes it will lead to reforms. He seems blissfully unaware that education is dominated by a noxious ideology and by charlatans.
It seems that every time a pundit decides to pontificate about education there is a lot of educating to be done.
His column has generated an unusually large number of comments. People care.
Instructivist! Hurrah, great to hear from you. Have missed your incisive insights and mordant wit.Welcome back.
