Interim and Replacement Readings: English 110

Since our course reader, Stand! Educational Psychology will be late in arriving at our bookstore, we'll use some web-published writings that deal with the same subjects until the reader arrives. This list will be supplemented on a regular basis, so check back well in advance of each class to see if anything has been added. Please Note: The readings in the New St. Martin's Handbook specified on the original syllabus are still required!

Readings for Tuesday, 31 August:

A rant against public education by a lizard
"A Nation Still At Risk" by William Bennett et al.
A rant in favor of public education by Forrest Troy

Readings for Thursday, 2 September:

"The Lamentable Alliance Between the Media and School Critics" by Bruce Biddle and David Berliner
The Forces Most Destructive of Public Education by Jack McKay
"Why Have Americans Never Admired Their Own Schools" by Bud Hodgkinson
