Since promoting the Post hurts Edwize and UFT members, there should be some equal or greater good done by including the link. And this really should hold for each individual link. Edwize is under no obligation to provide the NY Post with unlimited links, just because they write about education. Jonathan It’s an agenda-driven political publication.

Today’s news stories draw from a wider range of papers.

To pick one of the links to the Post, I do find it interesting to see how Kozol and his new book are attracting a growing amount of attention in the NCLB debate.

Shouln't the mayor be directly responsible for schools? As mayoral sunset appraoches this will become a fascinating debate. The UFT has formed a Task Force on Governance and will be holding hearing in the near future ..hope all you guys will show up and express opinions ...

All of this with no true student improvement. It is time to end mayoral control and institute a policy wherein only those with an education background od at least 20 years may lead the school system.
