Alex Johnston, the CEO of ConnCAN (I yearn for someone in Topeka to found KanCAN?or, better yet, someone in Montparnasse to start CancanCAN), writes that he is waiting for the coming of ?the Omnivore's Dilemma of education?a book that would clearly communicate the urgency of reforming our education system and make that urgency tangible and actionable for laypeople, even (or especially) those who might not have realized they were interested in education before.? He will be waiting for a while. Why? Because whereas The Omnivore's Dilemma illuminated much about food production that readers did not know, just about everyone does know that public schools are frequently foul; shelves upon shelves of books proclaim and explain this. And more such books are published all the time.
