Sick of everyone putting in their two cents instead of just giving you the facts? Me, too. According to this Times Magazine story from earlier this month, we should all be turning to Wikipedia for information -- including breaking news -- since the collaborative website is all about maintaining a neutral point of view. Sound interesting? Well, not so fast. The articles all created by group effort, and are not necessarily complete or accurate even if they’re neutral. Maybe that’s why people like opinion -- better sifting. Here’s the entry for Reading First. And for NCLB. Click “history” to see what changes have been made. Make a correction if you find something wrong.
