When I’m not complaining online about social issues or working on my farm, I teach adults how to read.
So grateful the Free Press asked me to write about the adult literacy work that has consumed and enlightened my life for nearly two decades!
(And it’s actually related to the culture issues. Progressive ed needs some time in the corner t…
