The altered trajectory of Michelle Robinson

The altered trajectory of Michelle Robinson

In 1975, under pressure from the Supreme Court decision desegregating public schools, Chicago opened a racially integrated high school for high achievers that changed young Michelle Robinson's life, writes Sheryl Gay Stolberg for The New York Times. Her now husband, Barack Obama, attended a prep school in multicultural Hawaii, but Mrs. Obama was raised in a one-bedroom apartment and later a house in South Shore, a…

Rush Limbaugh wins award for best children's book. So what is the real story?

According to the media, the real story is that Rush is an idiot, no child would want to read anything by him, and the only reason he won the award is because Rush bought all the books himself.

 Some of the outrage is palpable. The mainstream media pay so little attention to anything except itself, a lot of these people didn't…

Will Fed Guidance on Charter Schools Bring Change? By Christopher Wooleyhand, Ph.D.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights issued a letter of guidance last week to charter schools (see link below). While supportive in tone, it laid out clear expectations regarding the application of civil rights laws in charter schools. This is good news for all schools. Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Catherine E. Lhamon’s letter suggests that a new level of transparency needs to be practiced by charter schools.



Charter schools have been criticized for… Continue

What's all this talk about New and Higher Standards?

For aficionados of sophistry and propaganda, Common Core presents a drunken orgy of fun.

 One of the most interesting specimens of strange language is the word Standard. Can anybody say what it means exactly?

Is it a goal? Is it a rule? Is it a law? Is it a means to get somewhere? Is it a norm?  And if nobody knows what it means, how can people have intelligent conversations about it?

 Note in particular, there is a very…

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
