The Atlantic Did Me Dirty - Carrie M. Santo-Thomas

Early this summer I was interviewed by Rose Horowitch, an editor for The Atlantic. She told me that she had heard from a university professor that incoming students were struggling to keep up with the reading load. She explained that she was working on an article that would explore the problem of reading stamina and asked me to share my experiences in the high school classroom.

Note

what a joyful response.

instead of the typical rage tweets social media allows for, here we have a worthy authoritative voice take to a personal blog to respond though fully to click bait that got a lot of people talking about an important subject (but in an unhealthy and inaccurate way).

the kids are gonna be all right.
