Tuesday Open Thread
Went to the "State of the District" event yesterday hosted by the Alliance for Education and sponsored by Group Health. (I'm sort of kidding about the the sponsorship but somebody paid for that.) There were some interesting things said from the Superintendent (frank talk, very long and a reference to God), Mayor (how many times can he say "collaboration" until you realize that it may just be a talking point) and Washington State Teacher of the Year (tests are NOT everything but he likes Common Core). You will not hear all this today when the Superintendent gives his speech again at JSCEE at 4 pm. It's a 20 minute speech. Also, no food or wine for you as at the Alliance event (but I was rushing out the door to see David Sedaris so I didn't get any either). All part of the SPS puzzle (especially around enrollment) - the City announces community open houses around housing. (What? no love for West Seattle or NW Seattle.)
