Seriously? The same William J. Bennett who calls multiple
intelligences "a dressed-up excuse for a failure to teach important
lessons, and a handy way to avoid accountability for academic
achievement"? Author of the freaking *Book of Virtues*, for crying
out loud?

The Educated Child: A Parent's Guide from Preschool through Eighth
Grade. New York: The Free Press, 1999. Page 598

It's in the paragraph that begins, "One must wonder if a theory
backed by little or no scientific evidence should influence the way
educators define a good education."

*grrrr* scientific evidence, eh? Yes, children are for the gathering
of empirical data, and the more we have of them together, the more
easily they can become subjects of our experimentation. *grrrrrr*

makes me sick to think we bought into that type of thing. feeling
like failures all along the way, because it wasn't working for us,
but believing that kind of nonsense is on target.

bleh
