What teachers really want to tell parents - CNN.com - 0 views

  • This summer, I met a principal who was recently named as the administrator of the year in her state. She was loved and adored by all, but she told me she was leaving the profession. I screamed, "You can't leave us," and she quite bluntly replied, "Look, if I get an offer to lead a school system of orphans, I will be all over it, but I just can't deal with parents anymore; they are killing us."
  •  
    Sometimes difficult parents can drive away the best of teachers, but so too can difficult teachers make life hard for parents.  How can we best foster positive cooperation between educators and parents?

Can whiz kid dropouts make it in the tech world? - 0 views

  • Some folks in Silicon Valley and elsewhere say a conventional education can't possibly give kids with outsize talents what they need. Others, like Vivek Wadhwa, a fellow at Stanford Law School who teaches and advises startup companies, say dropping out to pursue a dream is like "buying a lottery ticket — that's how good your odds are here. More likely than not, you will become unemployed. For every success, there are 100,000 failures."
