Here is a note I received from Chris Liebig:
Hi, Tim -- this is my first time writing in to the class notes. I'm raising three daughters in Iowa City (where Sam Chang is a local celebrity) and teaching legal writing at the University of Iowa College of Law (where Peggie Smith is a professor). Watching what goes on in my kids' elementary school in the name of education -- and partly provoked by a recent article by E.D. Hirsch, Jr. in the Yale Alumni Magazine -- I have started a blog to talk about how high-stakes testing is not only hurting our kids but is causing the schools to indoctrinate them into authoritarian values. Thought I would pass the link (ABlogAboutSchool.blogspot.com) along in case anyone's interested.
