- World Trade Center and Pentagon Terrorist Attacks, 2009 Update by Education for the Aughts on Sep 11, 2009
Last year we were winning 7-0; now it’s 8-0. I show no mercy - none - to the folks in education who say that NCLB, various teaching/administrative/reform initiatives, etc. inspire “terror” in children or that their practitioners are...

Dan Willingham has written a must-read piece about third-rate huckster Alfie Kohn. But we’ll get to that later. The gall, the gall! says Andy Rotherham. In “Breaking News: Psychologist Dan Willingham has a pain fetish,” Rotherham wr...
