Lots of others are blogging about Jacoby's new book and her editorial in the Post. Open Culture, one of my favorite blogs, has a favorable commentary and compares it to other recent books including Al Gore's Assault on Reason (out in paperback in April).
Joanne Jacobs, another educational blogger, uses the article to decry the criticisms of teachers "teaching to the test" and lambaste rote learning, which as I recall from my days as a French teacher, actually works quite well to get students speaking the language. Makes me feel like saying "Darn Liberal Bloggers" until I remember, oh yeah, aren't I a Hillary Clinton supporter? Guess that makes me a liberal blogger too.
