    I think that the Courts acted appropriately here in NOT letting the student run for office after her offensive remarks. Nice balance, though, letting her wear the T-shirt.

    My first take on this is that the overhaul might be "NCLB Lite." There is talk here of relaxing some constraints on subgroups (in particular exceptional ed). The so-called "turn around models" which include school closings survive so far.

Supreme Court Declines to Hear NCLB Challenge - The School Law Blog - Education Week - 0 views

    I am submitting this because of the "power" at play between Connecticut and the U. S. Supreme Court. Connecticut argues here that states should not have to put out so much cash to meet requirements of NCLB. If I am reading this correctly, the U.S. Supreme Court might have heard the case if the U.S. D.O.E. had actually found Connecticut in violation of NCLB's standards....otherwise, not so interested.

    Wonder if VCU is hosting this new documentary?

    Yes...I get it...I am an IB teacher myself. But, I have learned that no everyone wants to be an overachiever in that academic sort of way...and we should all be okay with that...thanks for your comment!
