Prologue
Zig's Letter to Dennis Baron
Defending "The Pet Goat"
Following the lead of Michael Moore’s movie "Fahrenheit 9/11," Dennis Baron wrote a commentary (Sept. 8, 2004) for Education Week. In it, he referred to the scene in which President Bush was told about the assault on the Twin Towers. Baron belittled DI, suggesting that it had to be a stupid program and contending that the students were not learning significant skills.
I wrote a response that appeared in Education Week, Oct. 6, 2004. In the response, I pointed out why Baron's comments revealed that he was not very educationally literate.
