Doug Noon over at Borderland just wrote a really powerful, thought-provoking, interesting piece on NCLB. It’s just an amazing lens… agree, disagree, there’s space for both, I’m sure. But I’d argue that, no matter what you initially think, be sure to (to quote Mr. Kay, one of our amazing English teachers at SLA) "let it marinate for a while" first.

[Update: It was Doug Noon who wrote it, not Doug Johnson. My apologies!]
