Just a quick-hit entry today as it’s kind of late in the day.
First, a look at education and culture. The earthquake that devastated Haiti weeks ago has exposed some of the underlying issues at fault with their culture. Education isn’t something that all children in Haiti had access to even before the quake that devastated the capital and killed tens of thousands.
This link takes you to the New York Times education blog and shows teachers a way they can teach about the differences in education and culture using Haiti as an example. Click here to see it.
And on a darker note, things may be bad in Kentucky and education may be a big issue, but in Rhode Island, one underperforming school’s district administration decided that the way to fix the problem was to fire everyone and start anew. Will such a drastic move work? Read for yourself and tell me what you think.
