Ending the education wars - 1 views

    Comparing educators to murderers begins this article- but actually brings up compelling issues. Why is it so hard to dismiss incompetent teachers? Even in non-union states, the process is lengthy and the threat of litigation is thick in the process.

For-Profit Schools: Large Schools and Schools that Specialize in Healthcare Are More Li... - 0 views

  •  
    In 2008-2009, nearly $24 billion in loans and grants went to about 2k for-profit schools under federal student aid programs. About 20 years ago there was some concern by the Fed that the schools were recruiting students not ready or capable for higher education. A lot of the students were not prepared for the jobs they were supposedly trained for and so they never got jobs in those areas. In turn many of them defaulted on their student loans. Congress put the 85/15 rule in place - meaning that the for profit schools would have to raise 15% of their student aid from other sources. That was reduced to 10% in the late 90s under Clinton.

Pennsylvania School Scraps Segregation Project - 0 views

    This seems fascinating to me. I'm shocked that they thought this might work. I think it alludes more to the "return to values" of the conservative movement in this country than anything else. To me, this has the feel of a conservative, religious movement that has made its way back into a school division. This reemergence of "older" value systems might simply be a fear response to how out of control our empire has become and the repercussions of the wealth disparity on the domestic front.

    Definitely...because life is segregated, so why not schools???#$%^

    Interesting that "Special Education" allegedly means higher-than-average and lower-than-average performing students. Yet the funding for some states does not even exist!
