Another book! I’ll be writing about this one many many times. It’s title: Education and Democracy in the 2lst Century. The author, Nel Noddings. I’ve highlighted page after page, sentence by sentence. So you really just have to read it from page one to the end. I’m writing now to encourage a discussion about the meat of her argument. We could start by “arguing” over chapters one and two!! I don’t have to rush into print writing a book on the topic–which I keep wanting to do. Instead we have Nel’s who has already written it to wrestle with.
It’s Teachers College Press, just off the presses, and only 157 pages long, and very readable.

Deborah Meier on Education 
I was at the Rock for the open house today. I showed up arnuod 4:30 and was out of there by 5:00. Didn’t have any problem getting in there at that point, no lines, although the fact that they made you wait on line for a free ticket was strange. The problems must have been at the start of the program.The crowd was decent for the free concert they were giving. Alot of young families which will be key for Seton Hall’s attendance figures. Overall, it is clear the arena is a first-class facility. At the end of the day, though, its still a sports arena, and it will only be as attractive as the product you put on the floor during the season.VC
