Now I'm reading Cold Spring Harbor. Awesome writer, but as a bipolar alcoholic, Yates was not a happy camper.

I'm still of that mindset. I think good IDs should know the theories. Unfortunately, life has been getting in the way of my informal degree intentions, but my brain has started to resurface of late and I'm back on board.<BR/><BR/>@ Dave -- As always, you come back with a great book referral.<BR/><BR/>@ Tony -- Re-reading your post (which I'm sure I skimmed), I see that no, you didn't suggest that children be taught to skim read before they are taught to read. But I meant "really read." To read a complex text and understand the subtle nuances of the language. That's a languishing skill. And although I don't completely disagree that we all need these skills, mine was more of a general lament. If we focus our kids so much on the skills of the business world, what will we lose?
