Homework helps reinforce what the kids didn't learn in school.
Good schools are a bridge to success, bad schools are an obstacle course.

Have I mentioned any time in the pasg 10 minutes that I have a 353-page test prep book WITH NO ANSWERS to have Christopher do during winter "vacation"?
I ended a letter to the editor critical of our school board with the Twain quote once. Started quite the stir. I recommend it highly.

Actually, Rory's Friday education quotes concept is a GREAT idea!
I mean...it might be a great idea for a school district listserv...
The NY SUN has quotes every day. Wonderful.
Unfortunately I lost the paper that had two terrific quotes on the nature of political work.
Send me your quotes... I will post them again next friday-ish.
