A brief tour

I make it a habit to drop by Assorted Stuff, a must-read blog covering education matters. Thanks to Assorted Stuff for a link.

Paperwight has seen the light, converting to a spiffy looking Typepad site. Maybe I'm a bit envious but I'm quite HTML-phobic and I'm not sure if I can handle learning anything new. Be sure to catch Paperwight's excellent summary of the WaPo article on saving for college, one of the scariest topics parents face or at least for poor parents like us. So wonderful to see this household will get shafted in this area as well.

Look no further than dKos blogger Jeff for first hand knowledge of what's going on in Oregon public schools. Jeff has some thoughts on the Mother Jones article discussing public ed in his state.
