...Growing Up on TV James Poniewozik's cleverly perceptive essay on the new CBS reality series Kid Nation made this baby boomer choke back tears for the good old days [Oct. 1].

It all comes at an opportune time: with baby-boomer-era buildings reaching the end of their life span, the U.S. must embark on a new wave of school construction anyway.
