The Classroom Conservative: 40

Disambiguating traditional ideas in education from "movement conservatism" since August 2007. When I call myself a conservative, I simply affirm that many of the values that are most important to us moving forward are already well-established. This is not an unthinking nostalgia: an uncritical longing for the past is dangerous, as it ignores the shortcomings of what we have been. This blog concerns itself with matters of education and popular culture. Entries will be related to my training and my work, but the opinions expressed are mine, alone.

"An old man is a nasty thing," wrote Ernest Hemingway, who had been dead nearly eight years on June 5, 1969.
