Doug Noon follows up on posts from Tom Hoffman "in which he eviscerates the new Common Core(porate) English Language Arts Standards." He writes, "I was intrigued by the inclusion of Elizabeth Moje's article, Reinventing adolescent literacy for new tmes: A commentary on perennial and millennial issues in adolescent literacy (in the bibliography)." The inclusion of an advocacy of critical reasoning was "a bit of blue sky at the end of the dreary Standards statetment." Related: Deb Meier writes, "Since the habits of using evidence and reason can't wait until we pour all the facts into children's heads, a good education must engage in both together. 'Even' 5-year-olds learn by reasoning about the world while trying it on for size."
