It's not often that an article or paper should be read by every teacher, however, the article by Carl Bereiter is a must-read. All of those teachers lost in fads and fictions may find themselves at odds with the presented ideas but a heavy dose of reality might cause some to realize that some overused words in education (educationese) are not easily defined. Maybe teachers will stop tossing them around like they are candy being handed out on the evening of Halloween.
