Kenneth Bernstein, a retired social studies teacher, originally published "A Warning to College Profs from a High School Teacher" in Academe. It's been reprinted in The Washington Post blog "Answer Sheet."
A bit lengthy, but Bernstein touches on the challenges of class size and teaching thinking and concise written expression of thinking, the limited scope of testing in measuring deep learning and organized thinking, and his frustrations with non-educators determining what should happen in schools. It's an interesting read.
