"Clearly, American education has been moving toward authoritarianism," he
writes, "letting the government dictate what and how students should learn and
what schools should teach. This movement has been fueled mostly through
fear—fear of threats from the Soviets, the Germans, the Japanese, the Koreans,
the Chinese, and the Indians. The public, as any animal under threat would, has
sought and accepted the action of a protector—the government."

Pretty strong language. Zhao goes on to praise what he sees as the strengths
of the U.S. education system, such as its diversity, which he says breeds
innovation and allows it to bring about and respond to changes in the American
economy. He also describes American education as a system of "second chances,"
in which students who struggle initially have many chances to correct their
course, seize upon a talent and prosper. (Presumably unlike other nations, where
students are directed onto an academic track on the basis of test scores and
kept there.) The United States needs to find ways to replicate these strengths,
he says.

Stolen Picture

So, this is the price we pay for indulging in social media, I guess.

I am thrilled to have reconnected with so many friends on Facebook.  One of them sent me this message yesterday:

Alright, so how’s this for random: I’m in the car, taking my wife for a check up, pass by a new grocery store and notice that they have a picture of you, your husband and two kids on the store front window. Life size. I kid you not. Will take a photo of it later today and send….

What you don’t know from this message: this college friend lives in the CZECH REPUBLIC.
