Because you have better things to do than read them all: It's not just teachers who get staph infections, says EdWeek's web watch (
States Report Teacher Staph Infections). Good to know. Fighting against the inevitable Clinton win, says Scott Elliott, Obama stands and delivers in LA (
Obama's "in your face" move). Meanwhile, Mary Ann Zehr has the ELL provisions of the new Kennedy draft (
Senate Draft of Title III of NCLB). And the AFTies note that acceptance of gay teachers is on the rise (
Good News for Dumbledore). EIA Mike makes fun of the notion that performance pay is sweeping the nation just because NYC is going to do it (
It's a Performance Pay Tsunami!). Speaking of which:
Merit Pay Mania (Quick And Ed). There's also lots about merit pay and NCLB in Swift & Changeable (
Kahlenberg on Al Shanker, Tough Liberals, and Teacher Merit Pay). Though I have to admit I'm a little sick of Shanker and Kahlenberg. Sorry!. Meanwhile, Dana Goldstein of TAPPED writes hopefully about progressive parents choosing public schools (
ANOTHER LOOK AT EDUCATION AND INEQUALITY).
