If your goals are containment, compliance, and conformity - accept no substitutes. If your goal is to actually temper and free young minds, not so much.<br /><br /><br />In Big Don's political ecology, contact with blacks in the sorting system probably was/is tantamount to "destruction of the learning environment".CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-18077893704297948952013-07-01T21:42:13.490-05:002013-07-01T21:42:13.490-05:00You're living in a dreamworld.

That spells opportunity to smart, enterprising and savvy interlopers with no vested interest in the status quo educational delivery model.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-57687034206368557132013-07-01T15:29:15.276-05:002013-07-01T15:29:15.276-05:00Have tablet computers made the public/charter deba...Have tablet computers made the public/charter debate irrelevant?<br /><br />Is the fact that educators have not been advocating a National Recommended Reading List for decades evidence that education has never been the primary objective?<br /><br />Now the issue is what to load on the tablets just like the issue would have been what books to put in the list?
