A person named, "Orangepetal," commented on my Huffington Post article<\/a>. My response follows…<\/p>\n

Orangepetal,<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to read my article. My first recommendation for the President-elect or anyone else interested in improving education is to appoint competent thoughtful accomplished educators to set policy. America is loaded with them. American learning theorists and brilliant school-level practitioners inspire educators across the globe.<\/p>\n

While I am under no obligation to write any more than I have already done on the subject, I will attempt to write some cogent recommendations for school reform over the holidays. Of course, it is impossible to cover such a complex issue in this forum.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, there is a large collection of my work and ideas represented at http:\/\/www.stager.org\/articles.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy holidays,<\/p>\n

While I’m being criticized for not understanding fair-use and intellectual property law, Tim Berry in The Huffington Post offers the following food for thought – Ebooks, Copyright, Piracy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m personally fond of what he calls the "Slashdot Argument."<\/p>\n

David Pogue’s articles and music videos (links included) are also worthy of your time.<\/p>\n

<\/br>Today, two new articles I wrote were published by The Huffington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read:<\/p>\n

Spelling Porn<\/a> (about the televised National Spelling Bee)<\/p>\n

When the Jumbotron says, "Read," You Read!<\/a> (about the merits of "summer reading")<\/p>\n

and my earlier article<\/p>\n

The Surge Against First Graders<\/a> (about the Reading First scandal)<\/p>\n

Then comment, cross-post, dig, subscribe – anything necessary to tell the world that different perspectives on education need to be expressed in the media.<\/p>\n

<\/br>Big news!<\/p>\n

I could not be more thrilled to have been invited to be a contributor to The Huffington Post<\/a>. I have read The Huffington Post since the day it launched and am extremely honored to be associated with this ground-breaking publication.<\/p>\n

My first article just went live on the Politics page<\/a> of The Huffington Post. The article is called, "The Surge Against First Graders<\/a>."<\/p>\n

If the article is pushed off the main (politics) page, it may be found here: http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/gary-stager\/the-surge-against-first-g_b_100456.html<\/a><\/p>\n

My page for future articles is: http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/gary-stager\/<\/a> This is in addition to my own blog at http:\/\/www.stager.org\/blog<\/a> and http:\/\/www.districtadministration.com<\/a><\/p>\n

While checking out my article, feel free to share the love and leave a comment or Buzz-Me-Up! Education needs more critical analysis and reportage. I am humbled that the Huffington Post has given me this opportunity to reach such a large audience.<\/p>\n

A few days ago I wrote the following article about the efficacy of "Baby Einstein," Finally, An Alarmist Study I Can Get Behind<\/a>, for The Pulse: Education’s Place for Debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was pleased with the effort until I read Chris Kelly’s Huffington Post article, Bush Baby Einstein<\/a>. It’s a doozy! He really connects the dots and tickles the funny bone.<\/p>\n

Bravo Chris! I’m not worth! I’m not worthy!<\/p>\n
