Just a note to update my blog:
I recently finished the book, Real Education by Charles Murray. I plan on reviewing it here when I find time. The book was a breath of fresh air for me as a school administrator because it is a candid discussion on contemporary issues in public education. So rarely are we candid about what works or doesn't... In short, the author debunks 'romantic' ideals motivating the course of public education today.
I am also half way through the sobering history of imperialism that has defined Latin America since the coming of Christopher Columbus. The book is The Open Viens of Latin America. More to come...
And how about that Obama speech in Cairo!
