If you could change one thing….
My favorite memories of my childhood education involved the span of time after lunch when the teacher read to us, the piles of crayolas and clay we had available (there was a stark difference in the time devoted to art and creativity in Michigan and Florida schools), and library day. The Lilting House posted this interview today, between the Secretary of Education and Jon Stewart of the Daily Show. It’s the kind of dialog that makes me sad for the kids stuck in classrooms, being thought of as unintelligent or “left behind” because they can’t learn to the cardboard curriculum.
