By its nature, change happens slowly. That may be frustrating, but it's pretty much true across the board. Perhaps it is for that reason that former DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee was not well-liked (I have other reasons for not liking her, as do many other people, I'm sure, but that is beside the point).

Speaking of 15 minutes, a college freshman is sure to get accolades for writing this intriguing article about the devaluing of the teaching profession. After I finished reading it, my first thought was: Teachers should strive to have their students write this well by the time they graduate. This girl is going places.

Hooray! Something good!

Even though it may seem counter to this point, I really try not to be a Debbie Downer. But reading education news is often so depressing.

Not this time! There should be more of this goin' on.

Clearly, the arts matter. Stop cutting them!
