Here’s the link, and the blurb: To Occupy or be Occupied, that is the question. In reality, perhaps the greater question is are we, in this country, preoccupied with high-stakes testing, and teaching only The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM] courses? Do we score our youth and define them, their teachers, and schools as successes […]

You know, within the circles I run, there’s a lot of support out there for the various schools in the Seattle area who’ve taken this very courageous move. […]

A great organization, Save Our Schools, whom I’ve supported since the beginning, is going through a little strive right now, internally and externally, because of the common core.
