Truth, wit, relevance (or at least 2 out of 3 on any given day)
I've been a public school teacher since 1993. At the same time, I am a critic of public education as we practice it in this country. Primarily because I know if we were starting from scratch, we'd never purposely design a system that resembles what we have today.
The best ideas about schooling and education today are coming from people like Alfie Kohn. I highly recommend going to his website and poking around a bit.
