Just to throw a real zinger into it:
I'm one of the people who creates the instructional design for our nation's--our children's--textbooks. Plus then write and edit, too. Suggest design, and approve. Gosh, maybe that's why I'm tied to the concrete. >:-) Recently, I had a really terrible job as managing editor for a company that publishes high-stakes assessment--precisely the tests that calibrate for NCLB. (Or, No Child Left Unturned, as I affectionately call it. Retch.) The stories I could tell. Wow. Anyway, I'm enjoying this very much and am pleased to have those in Sweden here to discuss this, and everyone else, of course. tap

What is was like in those respects many years ago, has continued on in the same direction. There's a book about the politics of American education, called The Language Police. It's about 10 years old. It's a little repetitive but at the same time, it is a great way to get a kick in the head about what really goes on politically w.r.t. what our children read (in any subject). I think it probably counts as "a whole 'nother thread." >:-)
