Great class going on in Augusta!

I have a great group of teachers that I am working with on TEACHING THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD IN THE REGULAR CLASSROOM in Augusta, Maine.  I have updated my blog’s appearance and hope that it will be more user-friendly.  I also plan to add some additonal commentary.

Chris Hedges—Read him! It’s a prophetic voice in the wilderness.

Chris Hedges http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hedges has written a powerful, new critique: EMPIRE OF ILLUSION: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle. I urge everyone who knows me to get a copy of this book and read it. Chris Hedges will be speaking at the Deer Isle-Stonington (Maine) Reach Auditorium. There is limited (400) seats. Admission by donation at the door. For more information, email me directly at: SLYork@plymouth.edu

Chris Hedges received an honorary doctorate, along with Jeremiah Wright, from my alma mater, Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, CA.

I urge everyone to read this book. It is a critique of how schools are creating students who “hate” to read.
