Beneath the Waves

Have you read Nicholas Kristof's latest column on education and the stimulus bill in the Sunday New York Times? He says that our current economic situation has led him to place education above healthcare as a national priority. Although I think he is headed in the right direction, Mr. Kristof is worried that he might be out of his depth.

From his blog On the Ground he calls out for advice from the field:

I’d particularly welcome thoughts from teachers and principals — particularly those with experience in under-performing schools — about how to improve education. This is a relatively new area of interest to me, and I’m still on the steep part of the learning curve.

Even when he has no clue, Nicholas Kristof's heart is always in the right place.

The comment section of his blog is alive with responses--about 760 comments at last count.
