		<description><![CDATA[In the more than enough that has been said about Arum and Roksa’s study of learning in college, one welcome “finding” has gone almost undetected.[1] It is that students’ ability to “engage in critical thinking,” i.e., to think, improves if they are exposed to at least one “reading-intensive course” and one “writing-intensive course” during the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If someone told you that a counterfeiter should be pardoned because he was clever enough to make 20s that fooled a change machine the speaker had designed, you would be right to start laughing—or to check your pocket to see that your wallet was still in it before he left the room.  I’m torn, then, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a wonderful letter from a former student who had graduated magna cum laude from her university. A remarkable student, she avidly learned English, which was not her native language, and she did very well in Theory of Knowledge, which was not in her “comfort zone,” as she put it. Nonetheless, she said [...]]]></description>

It is that a good workshop can do wonders for one’s professional development. I say that who have survived some really dreadful workshops in [...]]]></description>

Hence the thousands of students who would not be allowed in an operating theater without years of schooling, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago I wrote about the increased use of an ammoniated bovine slurry called “processed beef” in schools’ cafeterias. That posting compared these inroads to the invasion of the same schools by junk education, a “product” as inimical to true education as “processed beef” is to taste and well being.
