So… I will blogging for the Huffington Post’s Education section from time to time now. (And no, I cannot believe that they asked me to do so.)

And my first post, This is Not an Education Debate, is up.

Here’s a brief excerpt:

We should have a great debate in this country about education. Educational ideas are — and should be — controversial. The space between people like Alfie Kohn and Robert Marzano, between Deborah Meier and Ed Hirsch, could fill volumes. How we teach, what we teach, how we assess students… these ideas should be debated and discussed at dinner tables and PTA meetings across this country.

That’s not the discussion we’re having.

Go read it. Comment on it. Let’s have a great debate on education on that site, so that we justify the attention they are paying the new education bloggers.
