Horace’s Compromise by Ted Sizer comes to mind. Reading that tragic book was my first step out of public education, something I thought I would never do.

Andrew Niblock and I did a presentation at NAIS Conference 2012. It was titled “Measuring What We Value”. It gave examples of “Old Smart vs New Smart”. The intro slide on “Old Smart” was an A. P. Biology text.

Your entry today brought back a terrific memory. God I miss him.
