Changing Education


Education is going through a rough patch.  Parents becoming more activist.  Students daring to question the professor's own bias.  Debates on Common Core.

VOX Article: I'm and liberal professor and my liberal students terrify me. One professor's story about how his/her attitude toward teaching has changed since students started questioning the professor's biases and "bad things happen to too many good teachers".  It is an engaging piece although I tend to think some of the authors criticism could have been more accurately redirected toward educational administrators that are too willing to put their students welfare ahead of that of the teachers and professors. Why didn't the author criticize the university administration more? Review in ZeroHedge.
