Carol Jago "Crash! The Currency Crisis in American Culture"

In this article, Jago argues that we need to read literature, we need to write about literature, not just talk about it, and we need to teach literature that challenges.

No short-cuts, no meeting kids where they are comfortable.

This was for NCTE publication in 2009 when Jago was president-elect.
