Comments on: Failure to Cultivate: A Response to Caitlin Flanagan on School Gardens http://www.kurtfriese.com/?p=125 Food, Wine & Travel :: Writing & Photography Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:26:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stephen Sera http://www.kurtfriese.com/?p=125&cpage=1#comment-46 Stephen Sera Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:40:15 +0000 http://www.kurtfriese.com/?p=125#comment-46 Kurt, Thanks for taking the time to rebut this article. The authors logic was so tortured and her polemic strategy so tortuous that my only question can be: What might her motivation have been? I am also a first generation American and I happen to have attended MLK High School when it was still named Garfield, (my Berkeley cred pre-dates Chez Panisse by two decades). As a veteran of that school system I second your appraisal of the benefits and learning strategies of the edible garden, which are in perfect alignment with a good education. Keep up the good work. Stephen Kurt,
