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.

If you would like
to have education articles 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. I have about 80 articles on Isnare.com.
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 Rudolf 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."
