global text – education economics meet the net

a quick nod of support to the good people at globaltext.org. i’ve got something similar in my notes from around 2002 or 2003, but i didn’t do anything because wikibooks did, sorta. this dovetails nicely with this recent bit:

“Math hasn’t changed since Isaac Newton,” declares Scott McNealy. So why, he asks, is California paying some $400 million annually to “update” grade-school textbooks?

basic education is too important to make as expensive as it is. knowledge is too valuable to limit.
