Please share your thoughts in the comments or, if you prefer, feel free to email them to me. There will be plenty of space for reader comments. And there will be plenty of time to submit them -- I’ll be publishing an interview with an author in a few days and won’t be posting responses to this question until later in the week.

You can also send questions to me at lferlazzo@epe.org.When you send one in, let me know if I can use your real name if it’s selected or if you’d prefer remaining anonymous and have a pseudonym in mind.

Another option is contacting me on Twitter at @Larryferlazzo.

Anyone whose question is selected for this weekly column can choose one free book from a variety of education publishers. I’ll be highlighting one particular publisher every two months, and will starting this year with ASCD.
