This August is a busy month for travel for me, and I don't expect to have anything new to offer here until September. For frequent education news, please check out Number 2 Pencil and Joanne Jacobs. I also recommend my standard Google education news search. For a collection of articles of some longer term interest please see the left column on this page. My Links, Articles, Essays, and Opinions Web page is a more extended, annotated version of same. Happy reading!
