Tuesday Open Thread
Interesting discussion at the NY Times; Should books for children be political ? Speaking of books for kids, I love this one - My First Kafka (which would be Runaways, Rodents, and Giant Bugs). Recess - it IS for learning. Great article from The Atlantic on one teacher's research. The arguing continues in the Seattle Pre-K discussion. The other initiative - not the City's - Seattle Initiative 107, has filed an ethics complaint with the City, charging that there were meetings with City Council members that violate the ethics rules. As I previously reported, the Sacramento School Board will be meeting this Thursday to vote on whether to appoint Superintendent Banda as their new superintendent . As well, they will also vote to approve his contract. There has not been a start date set but I think he would likely leave SPS by the end of the July. What's on your mind?
