Re: Professor Woodie Flowers on Educational Reform

Dave,

Thanks for sharing. I saw Andy Baker had posted the link in his Facebook account this weekend and immediately watched the lecture. Then I watched it again. Then I emailed the link to colleagues. Then I watched select parts for a third time.

As an educator, even at the secondary level, I find it to be my responsibility to help spread the kind of eye opening data and information Woodie puts forth in this lecture and a few others like it. I frequently find myself saddened by the state of the "system" I am a part of, yet there is a growing population of folks who are doing what they can and I find a great deal of energy in those examples which enable me to continue to do my part.
