					<description><![CDATA[The Secret Syllabus, A Guide to the Unwritten Rules of College Success* by Jay Phelan and Terry Burnham is an unconventional yet science-based analysis of what a student entering college should do, to make that endeavor worthwhile. It is entirely counter-intuitive, and even shocking. Phelan and Burnham toss the usual advice into the garbage heap, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2023/01/05/get-this-guide-to-the-unwritten-rules-of-college-success/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Get this guide to the unwritten rules of college success</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I use the word &#8220;burning&#8221; metaphorically. But it might as well be literal. If you ban a list of books in a system of libraries, the libraries have a bunch of recycling to do, and eventually &#8230; to the county incinerator go the books. In fact, I give you no truck, no room, no wiggle-space, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2022/09/03/fundy-christians-magajerks-proud-boys-school-and-library-board-members-ban-burning-books/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Fundy Christians, MAGAjerks, Proud Boys, School and Library Board Members, Ban-Burning Books</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
