Hello, fellow whiffers of the malodorous. Welcome to the EduStank archive, where I posited news and opinions about education reform initiatives for a couple of years. Having returned to the K12 classroom, my mind is focusing on my students and my next moves, but do not think for a second that I no longer notice or consider issues discussed herein. In fact, I am a constant victim/beneficiary/stakeholder/crusader/slave to them, as are all of us in education or education studies.
Two areas of which I am especially proud in this blog are the links to other voices considering the current education landscape and my work explicating Robert Putnam's book Our Kids. Please mine those items if nothing else during your time here.
I remain your Humble Lil' Stinker,
Dr. James B. Carter
