- Introduce Yourself:
-
I'm a novelist, artist, poet and education activist. My site Improve-Education.org is up to 110,000 words--I can speak on all the topics you see there.
I can explain all the problems we see in education--declining literacy, declining math ability, declining knowledge in all areas. Education is a big crime scene. You can't improve it if you don't understand all the motives at work.
Please Google "56: Top 10 Worst Ideas in Education" (or find it on Improve-Education.org) for a list of the major problems. Each is a fascinating intellectual journey.
As part of my education work, I placed this short video on YouTube: "Good School? Bad School? How Do You Know?" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuihhEpQE Ts ) All of the points mentioned would make a good topic for a lecture.
My literary site is Lit4u.com, recently redesigned and fun to read. - Speaker Type:

- Bio:
-
I've always been both a writer and an artist; in my business life I combined both skills to run my own small ad agency. I would describe myself as intellectual but always focused on finding the best way to communicate anything.
I want to be able to explain complex topics to teenagers. I hate jargon, sophistry, pretension. I'm the author of five books, I've had seven art shows. I believe that Improve-Education.org is one of the country's premier intellectual/education sites. That site is my mind.
