Right now I am focusing mainly on the books since they take up most of my reading time. I am finishing up Gloria Ladson-Billings book and am starting on Many Children Left Behind: How the No Child Left Behind Act Is Damaging Our Children and Our Schools by Deborah Meier and George Wood. I also plan on reading the "Mis-education of the Negro" for possible historical content.
