a good example of why we should not depend on wikipedia; the information in this article covers very little of the work of JI Rodale, his son and family; Others consider this article biased because of its assumption that organic farming is superior to conventional farming (whatever conventional means)

Authentic learning, as we are finding it through our Professional Learning Networks, remains the most powerful form of professional education; it seems that this form needs to be incorporated within our more static, traditional form of teacher education.

The educational assessment tests states use today have two fundamental flaws: They encourage the sort of mind-numbing drill-and-kill teaching educators (and students) despise, and, just as important, they don't tell us much about the quality of student learning.
