It's not a "beach" novel, but...

Summertime is approaching, which means it's time to think about that reading list.

You probably want your kids to make just such a list, but let me suggest one for you. There is a brilliant man named E.D. Hirsch, and he's written many books that will convince you that public education has plenty of areas that need attention. But more than just kvetching about it (ahem), he has some very bright ideas.

The brightest of these ideas is found in The Schools We Need and Why We Don't Have Them.

Check it out. Literally. You won't be sorry.
