State honors West Side for STEM excellence. Tricia’s Hope marks 10 years for its Survival Ball this week. And a judge gets his arms around what’s coming in case to oust the Fairfield Township trustee
Our society continues its sad downward spiral in making public education a competitive sport. The “winners” (schools) get monetary rewards for “winning the game” (having students who can demonstrate knowledge of and ability to do more things). With such tragic lack of sense of the public good and what it means actually to nurture the future (i.e, *all* in our emerging generations), we’re doomed. I recognize that the WLSC will want to celebrate this award, given the environment surrounding education today, but I hope all of us can come to see the folly of our ways.
