First of all,
no matter
what the economic ups and downs may be at any given moment, public
school libraries in destitute communities need
not just sufficient but
extravagant funding. If there’s a single thing
our state and federal governments
could do
to stir up a love of learning in our poorest children, it would be to
take a good big chunk of the massive sum of
money that’s now being wasted on the
testing
industry and use it, instead, to flood our students’ lives with the joys
and
mysteries of authentic culture—and not only Western culture but, in the
case
of, for instance, Hispanic
children, their culture,
too.
Lisa Nocita on 15 Nov 12Kids these days don't read email. So how do you get them to remember important assignments, tests or messages for their parents? You send them a text.
