		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a great interview, stimulating, controversial, and full of TEFL insider tidbits.

		<description><![CDATA[…sometimes it’s the only way for us barely-working classes to get any attention. The French and Russian revolutions may have been tragic for many people in those countries, but they were a godsend for the bargaining power of us prols in other countries. Is it any coincidence that he collapse of Marxism has coincided with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a story I&#8217;ve been following for a while but didn&#8217;t get around to writing about until it was finished- Catholics in Valencia have tried to sabotage a new civics course that seemed too liberal for them (what wouldn&#8217;t be??) by forcing teachers to teach it in English.
