The Decade's Biggest Education Ideas (according to Scholastic)

Overall, the list is pretty accurate, and Scholastic points out that just because some of these ideas are popular, doesn't mean that they are right. The list includes alternative teacher training programs, charter schools, and how technology has impacted education. One quibble with this list, however:

"Books Are The New Black"

Essentially, books like the Harry Potter series and The Da Vinci Code have gotten students interested in reading. I appreciate what these books have done for reading, but that is considered a big idea? People like reading popular books. Really? Kids reading books became popular in this decade? As one commenter from this post puts it:

"Not biased or anything, are we, Scholastic?"
