I'm not sure I agree with everything in this piece about how educators view the media (Elephants in the Room), but it's an important perspective:
"City teachers brace themselves when a school-related story makes the front page. The news usually isn't good. When mainstream media report on urban schools, the real story is often what goes unsaid."
