American Education has a long history of infatuation with fads and ill-considered ideas. The current obsession with making our schools work like a business may be the worst of them, for it threatens to destroy public education. Who will Stand up to the tycoons and politicians and tell them so?

American education has been littered with failed fads and foolish ideas for the past century.

Without knowledge and understanding, one tends to become a passive spectator rather than an active participant in the great decisions of our time.

Teachers' working conditions are students' learning conditions
