Bruce Deitrick Price is a novelist, painter, poet and education activist. Born in Norfolk, Va. Graduated from Princeton with Honors in English Literature. Author of five books. Has had seven solo art shows. Aesthetic in all arts is somewhat avant-garde, playful, and experimental. Art site is ArtNorfolk.com; the lit site is Lit4u.com. Aside from the arts, main activity is Improve-Education.org, which presents 80,000 words of original content about robots, sophistry, Latin, phonics, 1984, Pavlov, birds, maps, English usage, design, and the odd things our education establishment does. His many articles on education led to a book, "The Education Enigma: What Happened To American Education," which can be obtained on Amazon. Theoryland mocks the academic pretenders. The Education Enigma explains what the same type of people (they all have PhD's) are doing to the schools and why. CHORUS It's a dark noon in Gaza as theories clash; books are not burned but analyzed to ash. Look homeward, angels, and weep for truth, Theory's good enough for youth. That's from Theoryland. In the public schools, an equivalent Chorus would sing the praises of Whole Word, Reform Math, Constructivism, etc. A wasteland of gimmicks.
