		<description><![CDATA[A curriculum is a fast food diet of other people’s ideas that is fed to children in schools. It is designed by a group of people assumed to be much better qualified than mere parents – let alone children – to decide exactly the type of information that should be fed, and when, and how its digestion should be measured. However, that very process results, more often than not, in what I call “fast-food education.” It is no wonder that many students have to be forced to eat this diet...and in many cases fail to digest it. Its standardized content is often bland, bulked up with fillers, and short on flavor. Its delivery is regimented and, many times, uninspired. School children are seldom consulted as to their tastes, or even level of hunger, let alone trusted to understand their own nutritional requirements or dietary quirks! The force-feeding process is so relentless that many students gag on it, in some cases becoming permanently soured on learning.]]></description>
