		<description><![CDATA[Teacher education programs should be selective, rigorous&#8230;.and free, argues Susan Engel.  In a New York Times op-ed the psychologist and director of the teaching program at Williams College writes that admission to teacher ed programs should include &#8220;a stipend for the first three years of teaching in a public school.&#8221; 
Once we have a better pool of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High expectations?  Not so fast, says teacher Gary Rubenstein, who points out that the standard advice to have high expectations for their students is &#8220;one of the most dangerously misinterpreted pieces of advice given to new teachers.&#8221;
The reason the advice ‘have high expectations’ is dangerous is that new teachers, in trying to follow this advice, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The dirty little secret about schools of education is that they have been the cash cows of universities for many, many years, and it&#8217;s time to say, &#8216;Show us what you can do, or get out of the business.&#8217;&#8221;  Nothing terribly controversial about those words, unless you consider the source:  Katherine Merseth, director of the teacher education program [...]]]></description>

Whatever the reason, applications to Teach for America have hit 35,000 this year&#8211;up 42%.  That includes 6 percent of the graduating classes of Stanford University and UC-Berkeley, and 11 percent of Ivy League school seniors, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
