Check out Dave Clemens' latest blog post. It's about Mark Edmundson's most recent book, "Why Teach?," hot off the press.
The blog -- and I'm assuming, the book -- is provocative, depressive and timely, not just for college professors but for all teachers. After all, all teaching professionals are at the receiving end of widespread efforts to "corporatize" education.
Somehow, the mere effort to exercise your brain for a few minutes is worth the reading, even if you feel a little hopeless at the end.
But maybe you'll be inspired and energized. Like Clemens concludes in his blog:
"Teachers must resist the corporate temptations, discipline Satan, and
embrace real education—the formative education of personal growth,
values, and tastes leading to a fulfilling life."
Happy reading!
