Blog

Many of you probably already know about Rick Hess but I just want to put in a plug for his blog Rick Hess Straight Up.  I receive it daily via email and I’m never disappointed; I always feel the 30 seconds I spend reading it helps me keep up with education news and makes me think about the pros and cons of education reform. For instance, last week there was a post about a New Jersey district’s policy to stop using the grade D.  He says that “Mount Olive's new policy is likely to prove a pointless, distracting exercise. I'll make a series of predictions right now.” Go to his blog to see what he predicts. It’s also worth looking up his blogs from this year about the Race to the Top and i3 processes. Happy Reading!
