  • How Effective is Home Schooling?
    There is more and more discussion of home schooling. This should come as no surprise; it is at home that we learn most of what we know; and the best students have received their educational foundations at home. The strength of this approach is demonstrated by the rapid progress of many home-schooled children, even though they often spend much less time with textbooks than their peers.
  • The Power of Today's Students
    Here at The University of Louisiana, an undergrad recently lamented to me about the passing of the student activism of the 60s & 70s. He noted that his generation feels as if those possibilities no longer exist.
  • Education And American Democracy
    It's the American dream. An impoverished family-- immigrants or natives-- sacrifices everything to provide a better life for the their children. They live in squalor, wear worn clothes, live off the cheapest foodstuffs available, forgo healthcare, sell assets, deplete savings, anything, just to provide for the their children.
  • Bad Education Produces Bad Fans
    Everywhere in American colleges, local boosters exert great effort to welcome opponents' players and fans, inviting them to share food and drink with them, to show them the sort of hospitality that the finest people-- with the finest educations-- always show. Likewise, the hosting college budgets large amounts of money to market sporting event, to entice other schools and their fans to visit. This augments game attendance, which brings in funds for the sports program which it also enhances support for all of an initituion's programs.
  • Are Colleges Too Liberal?
    In the interest of full honesty, I need to point out that I am generally (but not always) left-of-center. Despite that, I don't much care for liberal writers. On the other hand, conservative George F. Will is a writer I will generally read, even though he and I often do not see eye to eye.
  • Schools And Business Skills
    A new concept emerging in many communities is the idea that the primary goal of education is to produce better workers. Our schools should support our economy. As might be expected, the people advocating such an approach tend to be employers.
