- Why are Finland's schools successful? by LynNell Hancock
  The country's achievements in education have other nations doing their homework.“There are no mandated standardized tests in Finland, apart from one exam at the end of students’ senior year in high school. There are no rankings, no comparisons or competition between students, schools or regions. Finland’s schools are publicly funded. The people in the g […]

- Bill Thompson Is Unacceptable for Working Teachers
  It's more than a little depressing to read that AFT President Randi Weingarten has seen fit to endorse Bill Thompson for NYC Mayor. First of all, she's got enormous sway over the UFT. It's possible that UFT could go its own way, but I wouldn't bank on it. More to the point, we've got history with Thompson, and it's not good at a […]

- A Time of Heroes
  The Tribune editorial called on us to be heroes like Newton and Moore where heroes stood up to death for the students. We could be heroes by stepping down and leaving our students to poverty, both literal and intellectual. We could be heroes by isolating the parts of our city most in need. We could […]

- Philadelphia Superintendent Hite: Extortionist
  William Hite, Philadelphia's latest superintendent, wants more money for the city's schools. And he figures the only way he can get it is to sell out his teachers: William R. Hite Jr. knows it's a tough ask: $120 million from a state that historically views Philadelphia and its public schools "as a cesspool." So, the superintendent […]

- Students on the Fringe
  Jean Ann W. Guliano:With 83% of the state’s special needs students and 90% of the state’s limited English students scoring substantially below proficient on the last NECAP math test,* even with remediation many of those students will likely not graduate in 2014. Even more troubling is that the gap between these students and ‘average’ students has actually in […]

- An Account of Historic, Tragic Day in Chicago
  The best reporting on the historic closure of dozens of Chicago public schools was in the Sun-Times. It provided a human face to a public tragedy. Most moving were the scenes at schools listed for clisure. The board voted enmasse. It didn’t even take time to name the schools it killed. The decision was rendered […]

  Evidence that crazy is the new sane.Principal Sarah Abedelal credited under-utilized Brennemann's high test scores to its low class sizes. Then she insisted the school could do as well with twice as many students."Size does matter, but when you look at effective teaching, effective teaching strategies, you can teach students double that size," […]
