BRUCE DEITRICK PRICE is a life-long novelist, painter, poet
and essayist. Along the way, he was always fascinated by education: the subjects that are taught; the methods used to teach
them; and why the whole process isn't more skillfully organized.

LATEST NEWS: 1) Bruce Price interviewed by Creativity-Portal.com about his writing and education crusading.... 2) Finally, Books For Boys. Important concepts are discussed
in "50: Leading Boys to Reading." Schools do a bad job of teaching this basic skill; then they tell barely literate
boys to read books that are more appropriate for girls. Only 43% of college students are male. Hmm. Maybe it really
is a conspiracy.
FIRST TIME ON THE RADIO Bruce Price is interviewed on "The Right Perspective," the official name for a legendary New York duo, Frank and John. I talked almost non-stop for 45 minutes. It's a little crazy. If you've got time to kill, it's pretty interesting.

If you would like to have articles
by Bruce Price on your site, visit isnare.com, search under Authors for Bruce Deitrick Price. This is a distribution
site; they make it easy and legal to add free content to your site. (FreeLibrary.com is a similar site. I have about 20 education
articles on each site.)
NB: Improve-Education.org starts from a profound
concern for school, student, and teacher. “Educators,” on this site, never refers to teachers. It refers to the
managers at the top, people with PhD's in Education. The more you study education in the US, over the last century, the more
you suspect that most of these so-called educators are ideologues. It's a sad story; for more of it, please see "21:
A Tribute to Rudolph Flesch."
CONTRARIAN: This site, in almost every article, is contrarian. The theme throughout is that conventional
wisdom and so-called experts can't always be trusted. For a good example of contrarian thinking, see "17: Understanding
Robots."
