It’s been a while since Ian Underwood has published a Bare Minimum Book. And now we have two! Just in time for the holidays.
Rethinking Fun in Education and Slouching Towards Concord.
New book 1:
Rethinking Fun in Education
This third book in the Rethinking Education trilogy argues that schools have morphed into de facto community centers, in which the activities that students find fun have largely displaced the learning that taxpayers find necessary for protecting their rights.
The book ties together the Bare Minimum Books trilogy on education reform:
Rethinking Fairness in Education,
Rethinking Funding in Education, and
Rethinking Fun in Education
New book 2:
Slouching Towards Concord:
The Campaign of a Reluctant Candidate
The feedback I got from my first testimony at the statehouse, back in 2014, was that people had never heard anyone say those kinds of things before.
As one blogger, who published the testimony, said: “Eyes widened.”
It occurred to me that if the things that seemed obvious to me weren’t as obvious to everyone else, perhaps I should start writing them down.
When I was talked into running for state representative in 2016, I decided to conduct my campaign by writing about problems that most people don’t even realize that we have. The problems behind the problems.
That campaign turned into this book. It contains thirty-two (32!) posts that are still relevant today.
