I will be on the East Coast and unable to attend Alfie Kohn's lecture at Whatcom Community College on October 9. Although the talk is sponsored by two leading private schools, the subjects are hot topics in the public schools as well. I recommend Kohn's book Punished by Rewards. It will force you to think outside the box and question many of the things we take for granted about our educational system. If you have kids, or care about education, Kohn's lectures and books are worth your time.
