My review of Joanne Jacobs’ “Our School”
OK, I’m way behind on this, but I’ve just posted my review of Joanne Jacobs’ book “Our School” here at Get on the Bus. The book has been out since late last year and I so much wanted to read it that I accidentally ordered it TWICE from Amazon (so Joanne already owes me one for notching the book up Amazon’s rankings a couple extra places).
But I’m one of those people who is always buying more books than I have time to read. I was already reading two other books at the same time when I decided I couldn’t wait any longer to get to “Our School.” I put the others aside, and launched into to it. To my delight, the book is a breeze to read. I had it finished in just a couple days (incredibly fast for my usual slow reading style).
So go here and check out my take.

Old Prof: Yes, I was onto this comment from the beginning. I think I’m catching on to this sarcasm stuff! :-)By Oldprof

That’s your problem, Scott. You read books. Leave the old-fashioned stuff like that to Vic Mickunas and get with it. Quit acting like the sixteenth century scholar who insisted that these printed books were less satisfying than hand-copied parchment! The postmodern way of learning is cyber, moving from online text services to downloaded MP3 audio files. (question: how serious do you think I’m being here?)
