		<description><![CDATA[According to the Huffington Post on March 26, &#8220;President Barack Obama said Monday that students should take fewer standardized tests and school performance should be measured in other ways than just exam results. Too much testing makes education boring for kids, he said.&#8221; It&#8217;s a start, I guess, but the combination of the lobbyists for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The funding for the National Writing Project is on the cutting block of House Republicans (along with NPR and other valuable services). This &#8220;jeopardizes a nationwide network of 70,000 teachers&#8221; who are devoted to teaching writing better.&#160;It sets up local projects for the teaching and learning of writing, it respects its teachers and students, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many schools, the Humanities (including my own field of English) is undergoing quite a change. And here I&#8217;ll take a break from laying it at the feet of the right wing: in many cases is my own extended family of humanists, my world-wide colleagues, who are killing the humanities. In this day, it&#8217;s useful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Birthers&#8221; are the right wingers who are trying to prod the faithful into more irrational hatred of President Obama by trying to deny he was born in the U.S. They claim that he was born in Kenya and therefore is not an American citizen. The proof that they are wrong is there of course—Obama&#8217;s birth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With NCLB flying under the radar at the moment, and the current Secretary of Education Arne Duncan not making too much noise about testing and merit pay at the moment, it may be time to talk about some non-NCLB related issues in education. I have always felt professionally compromised when other people&#8211;especially but not exclusively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make no mistake: the election of Barack Obama is a glorious day for the United States. When Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were killed in 1968, I despaired about the future of this country. And, as it turned out, I was pretty much right: Reagan, Bush I, and the coup de grace Bush II have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see that, according to USA Today, the First Lady is running around the country trying to repair the damage done by NCLB, attempting to justify the testing provisions. She says that testing is &#8220;the most important piece&#8221; of the law. With remarkable disingenuousness, she is claiming, again in USA Today&#8217;s words, &#8220;the 2002 education [...]]]></description>
