Three, unlike what we see in successful French. Four, the cynic in me sees the proposal as way to provide low cost childcare (rather than high quality education) from the public coffers so that businesses do not have to provide a) quality family...

Thoughts on innovation in educational leadership. Newer posts →. Our place in the world? Why, it’s right here! Here’s another blog I read regularly, http:/ richardlouv.com/blog/. I’ve found Richard Louv’s books inspiring. Several years ago I read his first book,. Last Child in the Woods. And more recently I’ve read. What is this “dissertation” of which you speak…. That takes a futurist perspective on education that is similar to my own (but far more eloquently executed). So, I’ve written these mid-...

http://countersignature.blogspot.com/2013/05/and-now-for-new-journey-into-unexpected.html

http://countersignature.blogspot.com/2013/04/twentieth-century-southern-literatureso.html
Meandering attempts to take control of total flow. Twentieth Century Southern Literature.so many choices but not so many weeks. I'm putting together a syllabus for 20th Century Southern Literature. I've never been immersed in a heavily concentrated bath of southern angst, depression, and morbid obsession with family honor, but I've read my share of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor, so I think I have a decent basis on that end of the spectrum. 1 William Faulkner, Light in August.
