Week 5

The Department of Ed. is starting a new recruitment effort, trying to draw the best and brightest into teaching. The NY Times has an article that shares opinions from a variety of angles.

Research shows that providing children with play time is crucial to their development, but recess is one of the first things to be cut in the demand for more instructional time. These cuts are much more common in high-poverty and low income areas.
