Chris Lehman makes a good point about the nature of the education debate: specifically, that we should be having one. "We should have a great debate in this country about education. Educational ideas are -- and should be -- controversial. The space between people like Alfie Kohn and Robert Marzano, between Deborah Meier and Ed Hirsch, could fill volumes.... That's not the discussion we're having. What is going on right now has little to do with education. We are having a labor debate masquerading as an education debate."
