		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s a plan for eliminating the national debt: Charge a tax of one dollar on anyone who says &#8221;teaching critical thinking skills&#8221; should be the goal of schools.  One person less likely to idly toss around the phrase in the future is none other than The Washington Post&#8217;s Jay Mathews, arguably our most influential education writer.  He concedes today that critical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Courtesy of the wags at The Onion, a plea in verse from the late Theodor Geisel, beloved by millions (but not by Hollywood) as Dr. Seuss:
Did you learn all but squat from The Cat In The Hat?
Please tell me you fired the p&#8212;- who made that.
I would have stopped writing, maybe sold Goodyear tires.
If I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 1987 all over again!  Susan Jacoby&#8217;s The Age of American Unreason has come out of nowhere to become a top ten bestseller on Amazon.  Her message, that there are deadly and destructive consequences to ignorance, has clearly struck a chord.
In an interview with PBS lion Bill Moyers, Jacoby is unsparing in her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A headline in the the New York Times today asks &#8220;Are Americans Hostile to Knowledge?&#8221;
The piece that follows jumps off of Susan Jacoby&#8217;s new book The Age of American Unreason, which notes a &#8220;generalized hostility to knowledge.&#8221;  Complaining about how uneducated we are is a hardy perennial, but according to Jacoby &#8220;something different is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unusually good, nuanced and ultimately fair dissection of Jonathan Kozol&#8217;s work by The Quick and the Ed&#8217;s Kevin Carey today.  A stark contrast to what Carey rightly describes as the &#8220;standard conservative anti-Kozol piece, which has become a genre unto itself.&#8221;
Carey&#8217;s main point is a good one. &#8220;In in his righteous anger and dark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Education Sector Author Talk, September 20, 2007
Rick Kahlenberg has written a masterful biography of Al Shanker — deeply  researched, thoughtful, eloquent — and crystal clear without in any way  oversimplifying the complex period that Al and the rest of us have lived  through. After reading Rick&#8217;s book, I understand better many aspects [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hirsch&#8217;s basic premise, laid out most clearly in his most recent book The Knowledge Deficit, is so straightforward that observers outside of education are often surprised at the uproar he sparks.   Most school curricula are, according to Hirsch, vacuous and disjointed.  Hirsch believes that knowledge acquisition is a deliberate process, requiring curriculum [...]]]></description>
