What's in an education? It's about how to think, not about how to do.

Rodger Lewis:

Esther Jantzen's article, "Literacy begins at home" provides an excellent explanation of what parents can't or won't do by themselves.

However, I greatly fear that, unlike Alexander Pope's warning that "a little learning is a dangerous thing," our leadership prefers a little learning, but not too much. American consumerism supports the oligarchic wealth that rules this country. And a truly well-educated majority, well-versed in history, might threaten the "greed is good" axiom that has enslaved so many by seductive credit options.
